They say that parenting is like having your heart walk around outside of your body, and that can be hard when the world isn’t built for your curious, creative, distractable child.

Do any of these challenges sound familiar?

• You aren’t sure how to respond to your child’s impulsive behavior.

• Your child is struggling in school, and homework is an uphill battle.

• It’s tough to keep up with your child’s mood swings sometimes.

• You ask your child to do things two, three, or four times before they respond (and now your voice is getting louder!)

• It feels impossible to get your child out the door on time. Mornings are guaranteed to feel chaotic.

• Parenting feels lonely sometimes - like you aren’t quite having the same experience as everyone else.

I’ve been there, and I’m here to help! Parent coaching can provide you with tools to support your child with ADHD.

• Understand the symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder deeply, and learn to see the world from your child’s perspective.

• Gain confidence in disciplining your child with fairness and consistency.

• Develop homework routines that actually work for your child with ADHD.

• Learn strategies for helping your child manage big feelings.

• Reduce power struggles.

• Create routines that run smoothly.

• Connect with someone who’s been in your shoes.

The goal of a parent coaching session is for you to have the space to share parenting successes and challenges, and get hands-on, practical support with helping your family function at its best. You should walk away from each session feeling confident that you have a new tool that will leave your family feeling more connected and less stressed.

A typical session includes these parts:

• We'll review past discussions and action items

• You'll decide what parenting topic we'll discuss

• We'll use discussion and questions to explore the topic on your mind

• I'll share some tools and strategies to consider

• You'll make an action plan to help you move forward toward your goals
