Thriving with ADHD
Positive Parenting Strategies for ADHD: Your Guide to a Calmer Home
Raising a child who experiences the world differently due to ADHD comes with unique challenges, but also incredible strengths. Traditional methods often miss the mark, focusing only on compliance. At Uplifting Parenting, I shift the focus to understanding the amazing brain you're parenting.
Support for the Specific Challenges of an ADHD
Standard parenting advice often fails for neurodivergent brains. We work specifically on the "pain points" that keep your home in a state of stress:
Executive Function Support
Strategies to help your child with "time blindness," organization, and following multi-step directions without a meltdown.
Emotional Regulation
Tools for both parent and child to manage the intense "emotional flooding" often associated with ADHD.
Ending the Nagging Cycle
Moving away from constant reminders and toward systems that build your child’s independence and self-esteem.
Screen Time & Dopamine
Navigating the complex relationship between ADHD brains and technology with boundaries that actually stick.
Adlerian Approach to ADHD Behavior & Connection
I provide parents with the tools to look beyond the surface behavior and connect with the child's underlying need for competence and belonging. My guidance helps you:
-
See Potential, Not Problems: Learn how to focus on your child's gifts - like creativity, energy, and hyperfocus - and build on their strengths.
-
Structure for Success: Develop calm, consistent, and respectful routines that help manage transitions, time blindness, and executive function challenges without resorting to nagging or power struggles.
-
Foster Independence: Use Positive Discipline tools to encourage responsibility and self-regulation, boosting your child's self-esteem and confidence in their own abilities.Heal Your Relationship: Move past the frustration and exhaustion. Learn to parent from a place of empathy and connection, transforming daily friction into opportunities for deep bonding.
