This week on the podcast, we’re joined by Ashley Gobeil, a Child and Family Therapist, trauma-specific counsellor, and social worker who specialises in supporting families through emotional and behavioural challenges. Parenting a child with ADHD-based behaviours can feel overwhelming, but Ashley offers compassionate guidance and practical strategies to help families build connection, resilience, and confidence in their parenting journey.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• The difference between ADHD and ADHD-based behaviours—and why understanding this distinction is key.
• Why validating your child’s feelings, rather than focusing on immediate correction, fosters resilience.
• How prolonged stress and emotional dysregulation impact both children and parents.
• How managing your own emotions can create a calmer home environment.
• How physical activity and mindfulness techniques can improve focus and self-regulation.
• Practical ways to support kids with working memory, organisation, and impulse control.
• A holistic approach to parenting: The role of brain development, gut health, somatic interventions, and cultural wisdom in supporting children’s emotional and behavioural well-being.

Ashley reminds us that parenting is an ongoing process and how it isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about consistency, emotional safety, and creating a home environment where children feel seen and understood. 

Tune in to learn how to better support your child, manage challenging behaviours with confidence, and create a home environment that fosters connection and growth.

• Practical, kid-friendly ways to increase fibre intake, including simple food swaps, creative meal ideas, and increasing whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes in children's diets, while also ensuring adequate hydration.
