Why do ‘traditional’ parenting methods like timeouts and yelling backfire with ADHD kids? Simply, they clash with ADHD wiring, creating resentment and fear. Research shows they harm self-esteem and worsen behaviours by ignoring root causes like sensory overload or unmet needs.

Drawing from my parenting experience, I learned that decoding the “why” behind ADHD meltdowns fosters trust and security. In this episode, I share research-backed strategies to ditch outdated discipline, offering compassionate alternatives that boost your ADHD child’s self-esteem and resilience.

Parenting an ADHD kid can feel like a puzzle, but what if the solution starts with seeing them differently? I’m sharing an open letter to partners of parents navigating ADHD, pulling from my own journey as a parent and coach, plus years of research boiled down to real talk. It’s easy to feel frustrated when typical discipline doesn’t work, but ADHD kids thrive on connection, not correction. Break the shame cycle, understand their unique wiring, and build trust with small, loving acts.

ADHD brains feel rejection deeply, and criticism can chip away at their confidence. Simple moments - like joining them in something they love without pushing an agenda can work wonders. Inspired by Einstein’s call for fresh thinking, I’m talking praise, patience, and play to bring your family closer. This is a real, gentle nudge to embrace growth over perfection and be the guide your child needs to shine.

What if parenting a child with ADHD is less about their behaviour and more about our expectations? In this episode, I share insights from my journey exploring how accepting kids as they are and without judgment, transforms conflicts into nurturing moments. Letting go of idealised images of our children allows us to respond with love, fostering authentic connection.

Accepting struggles like biting or meltdowns doesn’t mean condoning them; it creates space for growth. By reframing fears and resisting control, we build trust where kids feel seen. This episode reflects on moving from resistance to presence, shrinking battles and helping kids thrive authentically.

Parenting a child with ADHD can be challenging, but every small step forward matters. In this episode, Angela shares how her child’s efforts to mask their symptoms at school leave them exhausted, making evenings particularly difficult.

To navigate these tough transitions, we explore how using humor and a calm approach can help. Celebrate small successes, like clearing a plate or completing homework, to build confidence. Instead of viewing incentives as “bribes,” see them as supportive tools, offering choices to transform resistance into opportunities for growth. This helps kids feel capable and understood. Embrace imperfection, trust your instincts, and model resilience to foster a strong bond, allowing your child’s strengths to outshine their challenges.
