SUMMARY

As parents, our mindsets and expectations majorly impact our children. When parenting a child with ADHD, having realistic expectations and appropriate mindsets is key. We believe that every child is special and that all kids do well if they can! When we reframe our children's struggles, this allows us the freedom to get curious and figure out the best ways to support them. In this episode, we discuss five mindset shifts for the hard days. This episode is not about taking on more mom guilt but empowering you with grace in your parenting journey.
