Episode notes
Find Values-Aligned ADHD Parent Support
- Connect with other ADHD parents who share your values and parenting goals.
- Prioritize validation and avoid parents who focus only on external behavior rather than the child's experience.
Accept Imperfect Help And Say No
- Ask for help, accept partial help, and let go of unrealistic expectations.
- Say no to tasks that drain you and ask others to support concrete needs like scheduling.
Give Kids Simple, Preplanned Tasks
- Pre-plan age-appropriate chores and make a short list kids can follow when you're overwhelmed.
- Let children try tasks imperfectly and tolerate their versions to build competence and reduce your load.
