One of the most important shifts I encourage parents to make is to pause and ask:

“Is my child choosing not to do this, or are they having a hard time doing it right now?”

Looking at behavior through a “can’t vs. won’t” lens doesn’t mean lowering expectations or avoiding boundaries. It helps us understand what may be getting in the way so we can teach the skills our kids still need.

What’s one behavior you see in your child that makes you wonder: can’t or won’t?

You can ask AI how to parent a child with ADHD.

You can listen to podcasts, read books, follow parenting experts, and save a hundred Instagram posts.

But knowing what to do when YOUR child melts down, refuses to cooperate, can’t get out the door, or pushes every one of your buttons? That’s harder.

That’s where learning together makes a difference.

In my Calm & Connected ADHD Parent Coaching Class, we don’t just talk about ADHD. We talk about real families, real challenges, and how to actually use these strategies when parenting gets hard.

And you don’t have to figure it out alone. You learn alongside other parents who get it, with time to ask questions, reflect, troubleshoot, and build a toolbox that works for your family.

Because more information isn’t always what parents need.

Sometimes you need support turning what you know into what you do. ❤️

Parenting a child with ADHD can be exhausting, frustrating, and overwhelming. One of my goals with the Calm & Connected ADHD Parent Coaching Class is to help parents feel more confident in understanding their child—and more equipped to handle the hard moments.

I received this message from a parent in my current class, and it made my day:

“I am loving the class—thank you so much! It is rich, the community is supportive and I really look forward to it every week! So glad I signed up!

The process of parenting can be exhausting, frustrating, disappointing, etc. at times. However, I am feeling more confident and sturdy as a Mom, and so I thank you for helping me to build my own toolbox and support my kids the best I can.”

❤️ This is exactly what I hope parents take away from the class: not perfect parenting, but greater confidence, practical tools, and the support of other parents who get it.

My next Calm & Connected ADHD Parent Coaching Class is now open for registration!

Parenting a child with ADHD can be exhausting—even when you understand ADHD and are trying your best.

Maybe you’re tired of repeating yourself, navigating daily power struggles, or feeling like so much of your relationship with your child revolves around correcting behavior.

You want to hold boundaries and help your child develop responsibility, but you also want to protect your connection with them.

You don’t have to choose between the two.

In my Calm and Connected ADHD Parent Coaching Class, we explore how ADHD and executive functioning affect everyday life and learn practical strategies for communication, routines, collaboration, and responding to challenging behaviors.

As an occupational therapist with 24 years of pediatric experience, I bring both a clinical perspective and a compassionate, practical approach to helping families find what works for them.

You’ll have opportunities to ask questions, share experiences with other parents, and leave with tools you can actually use at home.

You don’t need to be a perfect parent. You deserve support, too.

Interested in learning more? Send me a message, and I’d be happy to talk with you about whether the class might be a good fit for your family.

Are you feeling at a loss on how to respond to your child's behavior? Are you feeling frustrated and overwhelmed? Do you and your partner argue over how to parent? Now is the time to gain skills, acquire tools and get on the same page with your partner. I have been coaching families for over 2 years and have helped countless families find calm and connection within their household. There's no time to delay!

Parents who have taken my Calm and Connected ADHD Parent Coaching Class consistently describe it as informative, practical, compassionate, and empowering. They share that the class has helped them better understand how their child’s ADHD brain works, adjust expectations, and approach challenging moments with greater calm and connection. Parents have gained concrete tools they can use right away to improve routines, reduce family stress, strengthen relationships, and feel more confident in their parenting. Many have also appreciated the nonjudgmental support and connection with other parents who understand their experiences. Whether they were just beginning to learn about ADHD or already felt knowledgeable but overwhelmed and burned out, parents say they left with a clearer framework, valuable resources, and—perhaps most importantly—greater hope and optimism about their child and their family’s future.

“While many children with ADHD benefit from treatment aids — meditation, therapy, drug intervention — these largely require finding doctors and jumping through insurance hoops. With one notable exception: a universally accessible treatment that’s proven to help ADHD, even when used for just 30 minutes after school or over a lunch break. That therapy? Nature.”

Kids toggle between school, screens, homework, and more screens. Here’s the research on nature therapy for ADHD, and ideas for harnessing its power for yo…
