Ever feel like your child’s emotions or impulses go from zero to 200 in seconds...and there’s no stopping it? You’re not alone. In this episode, I share one of my favorite tools for helping kids understand their unique wiring: the Race Car Brain analogy. It’s a simple, memorable picture you can use to explain ADHD, DMDD, or emotional intensity in a way that builds confidence instead of shame.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How to use the Race Car Brain story to explain your child’s wiring in a positive way
• Why framing strengths first matters when talking with your child
• Practical examples of how impulsivity, meltdowns, and overwhelm can be explained through the race car analogy
• Encouragement for building your child’s “pit crew” so they can thrive with support
