What happens when your child destroys someone else’s Minecraft build during therapy?
We talk about it.
We slow it down.
We build skills in real time—skills that ADHDers and AuDHDers desperately need, but rarely get to practice in a safe, supportive space.
🧠 ADHD, Impulsivity, and Self-Esteem: A Hidden Connection
By the age of 10, many kids with ADHD or AuDHD have already internalized harmful messages:
“You’re too much.”
“You’re not trying hard enough.”
“You’d be fine if you just had more self-control.”
What parents don’t always see is how deeply those comments shape a child’s sense of self. Repeated messaging like this chips away at self-worth. It increases shame. And it often leaves kids feeling like they’ll never be “good enough,” no matter how hard they try.
Even with medication, kids still need actual skills to manage:
- A brain that craves stimulation and novelty
- Changing hormones that amplify emotional responses
- Social situations where boundaries get blurry or broken
🎮 Why Minecraft Helps Build Impulse Control
In Victoria’s Minecraft Social Skills Group, kids get to practice impulse control in the moment—not in theory.
And yes, that means sometimes someone breaks someone else’s build.
But instead of disciplining or removing them from the group, Victoria helps them process:
- 🚫 What does it mean to set a boundary?
- 🧱 How do I repair when I’ve crossed a line?
- 💬 How do I express my frustration without hurting someone else?
These aren’t abstract ideas—they’re real-life moments that happen in a space where kids feel safe, seen, and supported.
Victoria doesn’t just stop impulsive behavior.
She helps kids understand why it happened, how to bounce back, and what to try next time.
💡 Why Victoria Created This Group
Victoria is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Special Education Teacher with over 15 years of experience supporting neurodivergent kids.
As a teacher, she watched too many children get pulled out of class for impulsive moments—moments that were often misunderstood, unprocessed, and left to fester. Worse, many of those kids became targets of bullying because of behaviors no one helped them learn to manage.
This group is her answer to that cycle—a way to give kids the tools, support, and connection they deserve.

💬 Why We Meet at 4:30 PM ET
I often get asked about later groups—especially from parents juggling work, school, or multiple kids.
To be honest? I’m a single mom, and daycare pick-up is at 6 PM.
This group time works best for me right now—but I do hope to offer:
- A later group for older kids or teens
- Additional times or cohorts in the future
If you’d like to be notified when new groups open, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to keep you in the loop.
