Feel Overwhelmed. . . Out of Control?
Life can be hectic enough, adding kids with ADHD into the mix and you have all the ingredients for chaotic days.
Raising kids with ADHD can be exhilarating, they are energetic, bright, creative and fun! In the blink of an eye they can become distracted, disruptive, moody, or even obstinate making your role as a parent quiet frustrating.
There is no magic wand to make life perfect, although with determination and commitment you can expect things to be better when you dig in and learn how you can help them succeed.
The secret to success is #1 understanding how an ADHD brain is wired differently, #2 The role the whole brain plays, #3 learning strategies to manage the paradox of strengths and weaknesses.
Kids of all ages respond to positive connections, opening the door to meaningful communication which is critical to your ability to influence and guide them in life. Developing a communication style that reinforces the behaviors that you most want to see in them.
When you learn how to work "with the brain" instead of against it, you can develop strategies that help your kids flourish in school and at home. As a parent you will feel more equipped to handle the challenges that you encounter and feel more in control.
I utilize science-based, innovative coaching methods to help kids, parents and professionals manage the traits of ADHD. Partnering together to develop strategies for dealing with the day to day challenges that can make life feel heavy and chaotic. Once you understand how to operate an ADHD wired brain, you will also learn how to motivate yourself, your kids and family.

ADHD is often over looked, although; it is quite common in adults. 90% of adults who have ADHD don't even know it. It often impacts executive function and is highly heritable, so if one member of the family has it there's a good chance others may encounter their own brand of ADHD symptoms. Learning to embrace and work with those traits will increase their chances for success. No matter who has it, an "all for one and one for all" attitude is a great place to start, and then be "in it to win it".
Not sure what to look for, here are some helpful resources.
