The Accountability Ladder: A Plain-English Guide to Supporting ADHD Kids Without Shame
$15.00
A printable accountability tool that helps ADHD kids learn from hard moments without shame or fear. Includes scripts, scaffolding, and a pattern decoder.
Description
“That’s not an excuse” doesn’t teach self-awareness. It teaches shame.
The Accountability Ladder is a printable tool for parents and caregivers who want to support ADHD kids with clarity, compassion, and real growth — not punishment or fear.
Inside, you’ll find:
-
✅ A 6-step scaffold to guide conversations after hard moments
-
✅ Plain-English scripts for what to say (and what to say instead)
-
✅ A breakdown of ADHD behaviours vs. what’s really happening underneath
-
✅ A printable “Pattern Decoder” worksheet to track emotional triggers, skill gaps, and progress
-
✅ A practical example using a real-life sibling argument scenario
This isn’t a behaviour chart. It’s a growth chart.
Perfect for when you want to hold your child accountable without disconnecting or adding shame.
Created by Rewriting Normal, this resource was made with ADHD families in mind — especially those navigating emotional overwhelm, executive function gaps, and misunderstood behaviours.
