Why Consistency Matters (and How to Make It Happen)

Based on the Positive Discipline approach by Dr. Jane Nelsen

Hi, I’m Dr. Kristi Briscoe.

Consistency can feel impossible—especially when life is chaotic. But it’s the #1 thing that helps ADHD kids feel safe and capable.

Start small:

1. Pick one routine to protect — Like bedtime or homework start time.
2. Use visual cues — A chart, checklist, or timer helps you stay on track.
3. Expect hiccups — Progress, not perfection.
   

Consistency builds trust. And trust makes everything else easier.
