Education, Processing, and Skill Building in a Supportive Group Setting
01 Normalizing the Experience
You aren’t alone! Parenting a child with ADHD can be challenging. Learn with and from one another in a safe and welcoming space.
02 Repairing Self-Esteem Wounds
Your child isn’t lazy, “slack”, untrustworthy, or incapable. Together we will find out who they really are and build their self-esteem We will also explore how their ADHD affects your parenting confidence.
03 Strengthening Social Skills
We are social creatures (including the introverts) and kids with ADHD need your support in learning how to form and maintain relationships. As their parent, their friendships affect you too.
04 Emotional Regulation
Impulsivity of emotions rarely works well. We’ll explore what to do when your child’s emotions are running high and what to do if your emotions are taking flight with theirs.
05 Skills for Success
Together we will learn tricks and tips to make life easier, more effective, and more efficient for your child. I don’t mean enabling-I mean scaffolding in preparation for them to stand without you.
06 Building Your Toolbox
The tools we build will transfer to everyday life and be adjustable to the different ages and transitions your child (and you) will face.
07 Communicating and Advocating
Now that you know how amazing and talented your child is and what they need to thrive, it’s time to help your child learn how and when to speak up for themselves and how you can do this with confidence until they are ready to do it for themselves.
