Haven’t watched it but her new best mate Liv is always talking about her adhd (self diagnosed) so Shan will be jumping on this band wagon like she does with everything else.
I've only looked at Liv's content once out of curiosity. I hated all that she posted as she uses her kids for klout and disguises it as 'raising awareness about SEN' (bs) but didn't realise she was self diagnosed.Haven’t watched it but her new best mate Liv is always talking about her adhd (self diagnosed) so Shan will be jumping on this band wagon like she does with everything else.
Am I doing parenting wrong because there’s absolutely no way I’d let my child eat burger buns laying down in BED while they’re meant to be going to sleep?!What have I just read?
I can totally understand how frustrating it must be for you and other who have an actual diagnosis and then these influencers jump on the bandwagon like it's some sort of trend without actually being diagnosed when really they have no idea! Liv talks about it in almost every vlog yet has mentioned before how she's never actually had a diagnosis. Seriously annoys me!I've only looked at Liv's content once out of curiosity.

For the record I am ADHD and fully diagnosed by a psychiatrist. My dad has it and I think my eldest may have inherited it but too soon to tell as she is only 2. It really annoys me when people throw the term around without fully understanding the end-to-end symptoms. It can be really debilitating.
Shan's short attention span is due to her spending way too much time on social media, nothing else. From what I know of her I'd sooner diagnose her with autisim spectrum rather than adhd.
I thought exactly the same. If I ask my toddler twice and she doesn't listen then I'm intervening. Shan just doesn't want to deal with a tantrum.In the new vlog where she’s talking about George in soft play where he had the beanbag and threw it at the table of squash, if she’s asked him several times to stop it and he hasn’t why hasn’t she gone over, taken the beanbag off him and moved him from where he was. No point being gentle if he isn’t listening because that’s not teaching him. The parents must have been more shocked at her parenting not him throwing it
She's the type of parent out there giving actual gentle parenting a bad name when in reality she's a permissive/uninvolved parent. His behaviour is pretty much directly related to how she's parenting, not because he supposedly has ADHD.In the new vlog where she’s talking about George in soft play where he had the beanbag and threw it at the table of squash, if she’s asked him several times to stop it and he hasn’t why hasn’t she gone over, taken the beanbag off him and moved him from where he was.

Couldn’t agree more. There are so many scientifically proven negative effects of social media and scrolling.Shan's short attention span is due to her spending way too much time on social media, nothing else. From what I know of her I'd sooner diagnose her with autisim spectrum rather than adhd.
In those boards as well she was chopping and changing what she used things to mean - sometimes the toys were playtime but in the morning it was supposed to mean nursery. How confusing.I’ve now watched the vlog as I was prepping dinner. My thoughts are:
- stop letting him nap for goodness sake
- the beanbag incident I mean she’s completely to blame for that, she rightly should have been mortified. She needed to give him one warning and then step in and those poor parents having to sit with wet trousers because of the jugs of juice being tipped over. There goes G’s invite to any more parties. They must think she’s a shocking parent! I’d have been fuming
- first and then board has got me fuming too. I’ve used these lots of times over the years through work and it seems as though she’s just printed a load of stuff of Twinkl, a website for teachers, without having any clue as to how to use them properly. With first and then boards, you’re meant to display one just one at a time, so as not to confuse the child. She’s just got a whole day laid out! How on earth is he meant to make any sense of that?! She shouldn’t use these tools unless she’s certain she’s using them properly
- finally, maybe it’s just me but I find it so strange to put tv on and sit in another room and drink a tea whilst my child isn’t there. Sit with them ffs
