69) Parenting with ADHD: How to Manage Boredom and Sensory Overload in the Baby Years

How do you stay present when the monotony of parenting feels physically painful to your brain? In this episode of Dam Parenting, Eva and Maren sit down with Emma, an ADHD Potential Coach, to take a warm, honest, and direct look at the neurodivergent experience of motherhood. From the quiet frustration of rocking a non-verbal baby to the chaos of toddler tantrums, we explore why the "hard parts" of parenting often feel even harder with an ADHD brain.

Emma shares practical, "no-fluff" strategies for managing emotional dysregulation, executive dysfunction, and the dreaded postpartum ADHD flare. We discuss simple hacks to reframe boring routines and how to build self-care into your day without needing extra childcare. This conversation is a vital reminder that your neurodivergence isn't a parenting flaw—it's a different way of processing the world. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the "overwhelmed mom syndrome," this episode offers the validation and tools you need to find regulation in the beautiful chaos.
