Competent Roles for Kids with ADHD
Episode 62
Wednesday, 22 July, 2026
Hosts Ryan and Mike make the case that children with ADHD don't need fewer responsibilities — they need better-scaffolded, consistent ones. They introduce the idea of a "competent role": an ongoing, child-owned job that genuinely matters to the family, distinct from a random chore. Along the way they name the "high giving, low expectations" trap that well-meaning parents fall into, explain why learned helplessness gets weaponized to escape non-preferred tasks, and walk through the executive-function skills these roles quietly build. The episode closes with a practical playbook for creating one competent role this week, grounded in research on autonomy, competence, and relatedness.Find Mike @ www.grownowadhd.com & on IGFind Ryan @ www.adhddude.com & on Youtube{{chapters}}[00:00:00] Start[00:02:14] What a Competent Role Actually Is[00:04:09] High Giving, Low Expectations[00:11:09] The Four Parts of a Competent Role[00:14:19] How Roles Build Executive Function[00:16:50] Create One Competent Role This Week
