Kids with ADHD need a different kind of parenting
Some challenges that a neurodivergent children and teens might face include:
- Procrastination or avoidance of tasks
- Difficulty listening or focusing
- Perfectionism
- Social exhaustion or stress in social situations
- Intense special interests and hyper-focus
- High emotional sensitivity
- Feeling overstimulated (sounds, touch, smells, crowds)
- Gender non-conforming
- Daydreaming or zoning out often
- Self-esteem struggles
- Anxiety and depression
How you learned to parent, likely from your parents, does not work well with kids that have ADHD or are neurodivergent. You've been trying everything - reward systems, consequences, calming time-outs - but nothings seems to stick. Everything feels like a battle and your relationship with your child or teen feels strained.
Now imagine a home with fewer power struggles, more connection, and a deeper understanding between you and your child. Imagine being able to help your child manage their emotions, communicate more clearly, and build more confidence in who they are and all that they can accomplish.
