Parenting ADHD: Tips and real talk with ADHD parenting experts and a Pediatrician

October is ADHD Awareness Month, and I’m thrilled to welcome Lori Long and Katie Severson, the founders of The Childhood Collective, an invaluable online resource dedicated to supporting parents of children with ADHD. In our conversation, we delve into essential parenting strategies that can benefit all parents, whether or not they have a child diagnosed with ADHD.
Parenting can be a challenging journey, and understanding the nuances of ADHD can make a significant difference in how we approach behavior and discipline. We explore critical insights about the ADHD brain, offering practical tips on how to effectively connect with and support your child. It’s crucial to remember that children with ADHD often process information differently, and this understanding can reshape your parenting strategies.
We discuss:
What to remember about the ADHD brain and how to better approach your child with ADHD
Why some parenting discipline strategies like gentle parenting may not work with children with ADHD and what they may need instead
How to approach ADHD parenting with prevention versus consequences
Join us as we unpack these vital topics and share actionable insights to enhance your parenting journey, ensuring you have the tools to help your child thrive, regardless of their unique challenges. Questions? Reach out to us in the comments below!
