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 youâre raising neurodivergent kids or figuring out your own ADHD path, this episode offers validation, tools, and a big dose of encouragement.
What Youâll Learn:
- What a neuroaffirmative parenting approach looks like in real life
- Why supporting a child with emotional regulation, rather than inflicting discipline, can build a stronger connection
- How movement can be a game-changer for focus and nervous system regulation
- The importance of understanding a child's skill gap vs bad behaviour
- How to support your child without accidentally molly-coddling them
- How 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 child
- Real-life strategies to empower your neurodivergent child (and yourself)
