Your kids are going to do things that are annoying, irritating, and sometimes just wrong. You will be justified in getting angry and correcting them. But I want you to turn what usually separates you from your child…into a bonding opportunity to draw you closer. I want you to deal with your own triggers and control yourself…because that will change their behavior more quickly.

Do you have a child who would rather argue for 2 hours over homework rather than complete it in 30 minutes?! Those of us with ADHD or neurodivergent brains learn in different ways, but schools usually only teach one way…leaving us feeling inferior and frustrated. That leads to unnecessary stress and fights over homework. I want to share odd, but effective ways to improve focus and executive function using the brain’s natural super powers. Let your kids listen to this episode so they know how THEIR brain works best! Go through the ADHD University Program included in our Back-to-School Sale at https://celebratecalm.com/products/.
