I’ve personally struggled with this topic but I’m so excited to share what I’ve learned. Setting and enforcing boundaries is difficult for anyone; it’s a skill set that takes time but once you master it, it opens so many doors for you. 

Boundaries are especially important for those with ADHD. ADHD causes your brain to go into overdrive so it’s easy to overthink and get anxious in certain situations. Boundaries can help people with ADHD remain calm and stable in uncomfortable situations. Let’s dive into how to set boundaries with ADHD.

ADHD kids thrive off structure and routines. I’ve talked about this in many episodes. Routines help kids with ADHD focus and meet expectations because they know what their day looks like already. 

Today, I want to talk about one thing you can add to your child’s daily routine and that is a chore chart for ADHD kids. It gives them something to work towards and complete to feel that sense of accomplishment.

I actually wish I had chores when I was younger! Instead of studying all the time, it would have given me a break and something else to learn. Chores aren’t to punish your kids but to help them learn life skills. This episode covers how to create a chore chart for ADHD kids.

A lot of parents I work with have shared that they don’t have ADHD and don’t understand it. They ask, “Why can’t my child just do their homework?” I totally get it. If you don’t have the same ADHD brain as your child, it’s hard to understand how they work. As a person and mom with ADHD, I’m happy to share some tips I’ve learned through my experiences to help you thrive as a parent raising a child with ADHD.

I have a love-hate relationship with social media. I love connecting with my audience and sharing my life in hopes of inspiring and helping other people with parenting and ADHD. But… I hate that I often compare myself to influencers who have a seemingly perfect life. I never want to show up on social media with a highlight reel. You get my good, bad, and ugly. 

I’ve been unplugging from social media more often lately for my mental health. After baby #2, I decided I needed to be present for my child, and I unplugged for about three weeks. It was so great to spend undistracted time with my new baby and my 2-year-old. I didn’t feel the pressure I often do to post something on Instagram and it was amazing.

After listening to this episode, I hope you feel inspired to take some time off social media. It has so many benefits to your mental health and can help reduce ADHD symptoms.

According to Medical News Today, impulsivity is a core ADHD symptom. It can appear in a variety of ways, such as talking out of turn, reckless spending, and risk taking behaviors. ADHD impulsivity can be very dangerous if not under control.

This is something I often talk to parents and kids with ADHD about. I want to help them mitigate these issues. I deal with ADHD impulsivity daily but I’ve learned to control it. In this episode, I share some of the things that have helped me mitigate ADHD impulsive behaviors.

This episode is for the parents! As a mom of two under two, I understand the need to have healthy snacks on hand that are easy to eat on the go. I don’t have time to whip up a healthy snack before driving to daycare. Since I have ADHD, I get way too distracted to quickly make a snack before I leave the house. I need something prepped to grab and eat while I’m driving.  

Even the parents that don’t have ADHD, I’m sure you can relate! We parents are busy bees! So, let’s talk about some healthy snacks for ADHD adults that you can take on the go.

Routines help me manage my ADHD and allow me to focus throughout the day. I get so thrown off when I don’t have a schedule, or something disrupts my schedule. I know that things can come up, and I try to be flexible, but I stick to routines as much as I can. 

In this episode, I’ll share three lifestyle routines I have in my life. By implementing them in yours, you can help you or your family member with ADHD improve focus.
