How can parents navigate the complexities of raising neurodivergent children while balancing their own personal and professional lives? In this episode, I sit down with Shona Gates, a mother of three, business owner, and author, who shares her experience of parenting children with ADHD and autism. What unique challenges does Shona face, and how does she create a thriving environment for her family despite their busy and often chaotic schedule?

What does it mean to throw out traditional parenting advice and find what works for your unique family? Shona discusses how, early on, she realised that standard parenting approaches didn’t always apply to her children’s needs. How did she come to this realisation, and what strategies has she developed to support her children’s development in a way that suits their neurodivergent minds?

How do therapy and structure play a role in helping neurodivergent children thrive? Shona delves into the importance of therapy in her family’s life, sharing how it has helped her children manage everything from sensory overload to food aversions. She also explores how creating a structured yet flexible environment has been key to keeping her family grounded amidst the chaos of their daily lives.

Tune in to learn how Shona balances parenting three neurodivergent children, running multiple businesses, and maintaining her family’s well-being. What can we learn from her approach to supporting children with ADHD and autism, and how can parents apply these insights to their own lives?
