SIGN-UP FOR ADHD ESSENTIAL’S ONLINE PARENT COACHING GROUPS

The ADHD Essentials Online Parent Coaching Groups!

  • Are you struggling with managing your child’s school work and extracurricular activities?
  • Is your morning routine more chaotic than calming?
  • Do you wish there was an easier way to communicate and connect with your family?
  • Does your home seem to overflow with anxiety?
  • Have you been looking for solutions to the ADHD problems in your house, but nothing seems to be working?

The ADHD Essentials Online Parent Coaching Groups are for parents just like you.  Parents affected by ADHD – because they have it, their kids have it, or both.  And they can help.

The ADHD Essentials Online Parent Coaching Groups run for eight weeks, with other ADHD parents who understand your experience because they’re living it, too.

During your time together, you and your group mates will learn:

  • How ADHD influences the challenges you face in your home.
  • Methods for addressing these challenges in an ADHD friendly way.
  • Structures to make mornings and evenings run smoother.
  • Ways to better manage anxiety in your child and yourself.
  • ADHD-friendly communication skills.
  • Ways to improve both behavior and compliance.
  • Ideas for fostering deeper family connections.

Total Fee is $976.

(Payable all at once or in four installments of $194.)

Groups Format:

Sessions are held online, using the Zoom video chat platform.

We meet twice a week for an hour, over the course of eight weeks.

The 12pm section will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays for one hour and is open to all parents.

The 5pm section will be held on Mondays and Thursdays for one hour and is open to parents of teens.

Each week has its own theme:

Practicing Self-Care

If you’re like most ADHD parents, you’re not doing enough to take care of yourself, and that makes it harder for you to care for your kids and family.  During this week, we’ll start the process of swapping that self-neglect for some self-care. It’s important. You matter. You’re worth the effort.

Developing Parental Leadership

We don’t often think about parenting as a leadership role, but that’s exactly what it is.  We lead our children, and the rest of our families through the day-to-day challenges and victories of life.  We’ll spend this week, exploring ways we can be more intentional and effective when leading our families.

Fostering Connection

Strong, healthy interpersonal connections help us carry the burden of parenthood. Strong, healthy social connections help our kids feel more connected to their school and community.  This week, we will talk about how to strengthen already existing relationships, both inside and outside of the family, by honoring the needs and requests of our loved ones.  And we’ll also discuss ways to find and foster new connections when necessary.

Improving Communication

Clear communication can be a struggle in an ADHD house, whether it’s between parent and child, parent and parent, or the parents and school.  During this week, we’ll explore ways to make the process easier.  We’ll look at ways to implement and improve verbal, nonverbal, written, and even symbolic communication in the home.

Creating Structure & Systems

Developing strong household systems helps off load the cognitive effort of parenting.  Establishing clear expectations and procedures helps kids feel like the parents have things under control, and parents feel like there’s less to worry about. But doing so requires good planning and follow-through.  We’ll spend this week addressing this often challenging side of ADHD & parenting.  And we will each commit to a new structure or system that will work to develop over our remaining weeks together.

Managing Anxiety

In ADHD families, anxiety often gets in the way.  Hard feelings about a past slight, the shame of repeated failure, and sudden frustrated flair-ups both cause, and are caused by, anxiety.  In this week, we’ll look at how to manage anxiety so we can avoid these challenges when possible, and better navigate them when it isn’t.

Understanding The Wall of Awful™

The Wall of Awful™ is a model created by Brendan Mahan that makes emotional impact of the repeated failure that so often come with ADHD easier to both understand and talk about.  During this week, we will explore this model, discover the Walls of Awful that exist for the member of our family, and develop strategies for getting past them.

Asking Better Questions

“How was your day?”  “Good.” It’s a common refrain across households. During this week, we’ll look at ways to ask better questions, so that we get better answers from our kids.  We’ll also look at ways to ask better questions of ourselves, so that we can see problems in a new light, and bring new approaches to bear in addressing them.  This final week will also provide time to ask any lingering questions you may have about the topics we’ve explored during earlier weeks.

Next Session Starts: Monday, March 17th, 2025!!! Note: 12pm Section is for All Parents. 5pm Section is Exclusive to Parents of Teens.
