- #230: Your Middle Schooler is More Capable Than You Think
The middle school years can be tricky, especially when you're parenting a child with ADHD who wants more independence but still needs plenty of support. In this episode, we're joined by Sean Kane from Growth Mindset Parenting to learn how parents can help middle schoolers build independence, resilience, and problem-solving skills. Sean shares why our middle school ADHD kids are often more capable than we realize, how to stay steady when they push back, and how to give them opportunities to take ownership and collaborate while still holding important family boundaries.
MEET SEAN KANE
Sean is a former Middle School Teacher and administrator with 3 sons of his own. He writes now for parents in the middle school years so they can understand the developmental window that their kids are in and help them develop the skills to become their best selves.

ADHD and sensory processing often go hand in hand, but it can be hard to figure out what your child’s behavior is actually telling you. In this episode, pediatric occupational therapist Laura Petix, also known as The OT Butterfly, helps us understand how sensory needs can show up in everyday life - especially for kids with ADHD! She also shares the idea of a “sensory budget” from her new book, The Sensory Code, and how understanding your child’s sensory system can help you support them before they reach their limit. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this sensory?” this episode will give you practical ways to start connecting the dots.
MEET LAURA PETIX
Laura Petix is a Filipino American, neurodivergent pediatric occupational therapist, author of The Sensory Code, and nationally recognized voice in sensory processing and nervous system–informed behavior support.

If you have found yourself googling "ADHD task completion" at midnight after a frustrating day of parenting, you are not the only one! We’re sharing one simple tool that can make ADHD task completion easier by helping your child create a clear “future picture” of what they’re working toward. We’ll explain why this matters for the ADHD brain and how you can use it for everything from homework and chores to getting out the door. If you’re tired of giving 47 reminders just to get one task across the finish line, this is a strategy you’ll want to try.
