With You in the Weeds

The Journey of Parenting a Child With ADHD


Listen Later

Want a behind the scenes look at parenting a child with ADHD? Buckle up for an honest conversation as Lynn interviews fellow WYITW co-host Austin Conner and his wife Polly about how they’ve navigated and managed life with a kiddo with ADHD.

Austin and Polly open up about the unexpected challenges and joys of this journey, offering hope and practical wisdom for parents who are struggling to know how to find their way through the maze of this diagnosis.

You’ll hear about…

  • What life was life before the diagnosis
  • The turning point: figuring out the diagnosis
  • What life has been like since the diagnosis
  • As you listen, you’ll learn when to seek evaluation for your child, how to build a support team, the changes you’ll need to make in your parenting, and how to manage the stress that comes with unpredictable behaviors and extra energy from your child with ADHD. You’ll also be encouraged that your child can grow, adapt and accomplish incredible things through their creativity and tenacity.

    We hope the practical and specific insights in this episode will help you feel validated and strengthened as you consider next steps for you and your family.
