Does This Sound Familiar?

-
Everyday requests turn into power struggles or meltdowns
-
Your teen seems unmotivated, overwhelmed, or shut down
-
You’re exhausted from trying everything—and nothing seems to work
-
You worry about damaging your relationship while trying to “do the right thing”
-
You know ADHD is involved… but you’re not sure how to parent differently
You’re not failing. You’re missing the right framework.
A Different Way to Parent Teens With ADHD
This course is designed for parents and caregivers of teens with ADHD who want to:
-

-
Support emotional regulation without escalating stress
-
Build motivation and independence—without pressure or punishment
-
Reflect on their own emotional patterns and break generational cycles
You’ll learn how to parent with clarity, compassion, and confidence—even during hard moments.
