In this powerful episode of the Reframing Neurodiversity podcast, host Melissa Jackson explores why true ADHD support for kids must begin with the adults in their lives—especially mothers. Drawing from personal experience, professional work, and research, Melissa explains how regulating our own nervous systems, understanding our triggers, and reparenting ourselves lays the foundation for our children to thrive. When adults feel more empowered and equipped, kids benefit naturally—emotionally, behaviorally, and academically.

What you'll learn:

• Why healing and ADHD support starts with parents, not just the child
• How your own nervous system impacts your child's ability to regulate
• The importance of self-awareness, reparenting, and co-regulation
• Practical strategies to move from dysregulation to grounded calm
• How small, nervous-system-safe steps lead to big changes over time
• Why traditional approaches to "fixing the child" miss the mark—and how to shift that narrative

This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and begin your own healing journey so you can better support your neurodivergent child from a place of calm and authenticity.
