ADHD Parenting Tip: Keep Moving Forward

Welcome back! Be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments below!
Earlier today I happened to stumble upon the movie “Meet The Robinsons.” I’ll admit I’ve been somewhat intrigued by this movie since the previews first came out, but I never got around to watching it. I suppose I didn’t have much faith in a movie whose best line appeared to be “I have a big head and little arms…”
Anyway, I put it on as background noise – being kid friendly and all – and to my surprise, it was a pretty entertaining movie. It’s no Aladdin… Peter Pan… Jungle Book… But it was alright.
Keep Moving Forward
I think what really stood out for me was the powerful lesson and theme throughout the film: Keep Moving Forward
It’s the idea that no matter what happens, you pick up your head, hold it high, and keep trying. I think one of the characters even went so far as saying that you learn more from failing than you do from always getting it right the first time.
No words could be more true or inspiring!
But this movie didn’t stop there. It was a story about children who struggled throughout life… About children who felt unwanted or out of sorts – being “different” from other kids.
I suppose there were quite a number of negatives you might see in this part of the story, but again, I saw a lot more of the positives. It was remarkable to see a child who struggled to fit in – who eventually found his calling in life.
If you ask me, that’s what it’s all about.
The journey might be hard, but we learn from that journey and emerge a stronger person.
