When my daughter's burst of energy was finally put into perspective with an ADHD diagnosis, it felt like decoding a secret language that had been shaping our family life. Sydney Crowe here, joined by Lauren Kerr-Heraly, to share with you an intimate and enlightening discussion on how ADHD plays a role in emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and brings unique challenges and insights into our homes. Lauran, an educator whose personal and professional life has been deeply touched by neurodiversity, opens up about the journey that began with her daughter's symptom recognition and led to her husband's diagnosis, reshaping their family dynamics with newfound understanding and strategies.This heartfelt conversation unfurls the tapestry of practical parenting adaptations, the magic of gamification in motivation, and the clever deployment of characters to help children conceptualize their mental states. From stabilizing our nervous systems to breaking down tasks into digestible pieces, we navigate the intricacies of ADHD in children. As we exchange stories and strategies, including my own approach to my daughter's ADHD and genetic disorder, we highlight the importance of patience, customized education, and the transformative power of truly grasping neurological differences.
