Parenting a child with ADHD or executive function challenges can bring a lot of questions—especially when the usual strategies don’t seem to work. In this episode, I explore what it really means to slow down, get curious, and support the child in front of you rather than the one you expected. I’m joined by parent coach and ADHD expert Cindy Goldrich as we talk about how these challenges show up differently for every child, why understanding the “why” behind behavior matters more than quick fixes, and how small reframes can shift daily frustration into meaningful progress both at home and at school.

Let’s reframe school struggles—together. 💛

In this episode, I talk about why going back to school after winter break can feel harder than expected, especially for kids who already find school challenging. We explore why this transition takes time, how pressure and fatigue often show up before kids feel regulated again, and what parents can do right now to better support the same kid they had in December. Instead of chasing “new year” outcomes, I invite you to think differently about January—focusing on support, understanding, and small adjustments that can make this transition smoother for your child AND for you.
