🌟 My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is available to preorder here 🌟 What does it look like to parent neurodivergent children while navigating your own ADHD? In this episode, I sit down with ADHD coach and mum Justine Graham, who brings both lived experience and professional insight to this powerful conversation. Justine shares how being diagnosed with ADHD after becoming a parent changed her life, and how it shaped her mission to support families to feel understood and regulated in a more compassionate, strengths-based way. We talk about the pressure parents feel, the importance of emotional regulation, and why movement matters more than you think. Whether you’re raising neurodivergent kids or figuring out your own ADHD path, this episode offers validation, tools, and a big dose of encouragement.What You’ll Learn:What a neuroaffirmative parenting approach looks like in real lifeWhy supporting a child with emotional regulation, rather than inflicting discipline, can build a stronger connectionHow movement can be a game-changer for focus and nervous system regulationThe importance of understanding a child's skill gap vs bad behaviour How to support your child without accidentally molly-coddling themHow to recognise internalised "shoulds" and change the narrative to support your children How to manage external pressure and parent in a way that truly supports your childReal-life strategies to empower your neurodivergent child (and yourself) Timestamps: 02:36 – Understanding neuroaffirmative parenting 13:57 – The importance of movement in education 14:33 – Understanding neurodivergence in parenting 22:54 – Understanding skills gaps in parenting neurodivergent children 34:25 – Understanding ADHD in parenting 39:56 – Introducing the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit Links and Resources:Connect with Justine via her website Missed our ADHD Women’s Summer Series?
