SUMMARY

Parenting ADHD comes with it’s own challenges, but what about when you are parenting with your own ADHD? Today on the podcast, we are interviewing therapist Eli Weinstein on what it was like to grow up with ADHD and what managing looks like for him as a dad and practice owner. Eli shares how he keeps up with mental tasks, sensory overload, and getting support from his community. In this episode, we’ll discuss communication tips, and mindset shifts for parenting through our own neurodivergence.
