About this episode

This episode discusses how changing a parent's approach can impact their child's ADHD-related challenges.

If you feel like you are saying the same thing over and over to your child with ADHD and nothing is changing, this episode is for you. In this solo episode, I explain what ADHD parent training is and why changing a parent’s approach can sometimes change recurring patterns at home. I discuss how ADHD can affect executive functioning, emotional regulation, transitions, time awareness, motivation, and follow-through; why more reminders, pressure, lectures, or consequences do not always build the skills a child needs; and how parents can look differently at struggles involving homework, screens, mornings, bedtime, and emotional outbursts. I also share a practical question parents can use when they feel stuck: What can I change in the environment, expectation, or response that might help my child succeed?
