Has your child been diagnosed with ADHD and your parenting skills don’t seem to be working?

Is your home life overly stressful and you are struggling to manage your child’s behaviour?

Parenting children with ADHD is recognised as being more stressful than parenting other children.

As a result, it’s difficult to make good decisions at the moment as our brains are in “fight/flight/freeze” mode as a result of our emotional triggers.

When we don’t understand our child’s “bad behaviour”, we believe they are deliberately being rude, naughty or disrespectful.

This, in turn, makes us mad and that is when we say things we regret afterward. Guilt follows. It’s a horrible feeling.

By gaining an understanding of why our child is behaving how they are, we can then put strategies in place which help our child.

Imagine how things would be if your child listens to you, gets ready in the morning by himself, and you don’t need to shout at him once.

Imagine dropping your child off at school confident that the teacher understands your child fully and he is not going to feel inadequate for the day.

Imagine you have a daughter who comes home from school and tells you about the fight she had feeling secure and fully entrusting that you’ll help her with it.

This is possible when you learn better ways to communicate with a child who has ADHD.

Sadly, traditional parenting strategies and methods often don’t work with children and ADHD.

Their brains are wired differently and we need to learn how they work in order to help them grow up in a healthy functioning way.

If you had a particularly strict upbringing, then you may find yourself beating your head against the curb as you try to raise your child with ADHD.

I know it’s hard, frustrating and isolating because others around you don’t understand. I know this first-hand being the parent of a child with ADHD.

But I’m here to tell you that there’s a better way.

When you understand the ADHD brain, you will understand why your child is behaving like they are.

Every undesired behaviour is a symptom of the disorder since it’s a neurological condition.

A child with ADHD will not have the same skills, thought patterns, or actions as their peers.

When you understand the underlying behaviour and apply different parenting approaches, you can support your child better and find a new level of joy in the relationship.

Here’s how I can help …

I work with parents of children with ADHD who are struggling with parenting their child and want to find a better way.
