Dr. Kristin Powell, Ph.D., ABPP-CN, is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist with over 20 years of experience helping individuals across the lifespan make sense of their brains—and their behavior. In this powerful conversation with Untapped Learning’s Brandon Slade, Dr. Powell challenges common myths about impulsivity, executive function, and ADHD.
They dive deep into: Why bright kids often struggle with impulsivity and boredom.
How impulsivity isn’t a discipline problem—it’s a brain wiring challenge.
The essential role of planning and frustration tolerance in managing impulsivity.
Why consequence-based parenting often fails kids with ADHD—and what to do instead.
Dr. Powell shares practical strategies for parents, educators, and students to build self-regulation, including how neuropsychological assessments can become a roadmap for growth, not just diagnosis.
