What if ADHD isn’t something to be fixed... but something to finally be understood?

In this episode of They Say It Takes A Village, we sit down with Dominic Watts holistic coach, former teacher, mindfulness practitioner, and author of Diary of a Mindful Dad - to unpack a radical yet refreshing approach to ADHD.

Dominic challenges the mainstream narrative around attention, behavior, and neurodiversity by asking deeper questions rooted in both philosophy and lived experience. Together, we explore how presence—not punishment—can transform the way we view, support, and raise children (and adults) who think differently.

This isn’t just a conversation about ADHD. It’s a call to rethink how we define intelligence, success, and emotional well-being in a world that often rewards conformity over authenticity.

Whether you're a parent, educator, or someone navigating your own neurodivergent path, this episode will leave you with more compassion, insight, and practical wisdom than you expected.
