Parenting with ADHD
12-Week Skills Group
Better understand your child. Build practical skills. Strengthen your connection.
Parenting a child with ADHD can sometimes leave you wondering why the approaches that seem to work for other families don’t work the same way in yours.
You may find yourself repeating instructions.
Trying one consequence after another.
Struggling through mornings, homework, bedtime, transitions, or getting out the door.
Watching your child become overwhelmed by something that seems small.
Or wondering how you can provide the structure your child needs without every interaction becoming another source of frustration.
The Parenting with ADHD Skills Group is a 12-week program designed to help parents better understand ADHD while developing practical skills and strategies they can use in everyday family life.
It’s an opportunity to learn more about your child’s ADHD brain, strengthen your connection, and develop approaches that support both your child and you as a parent.
Parenting ADHD Can Require a Different Approach
When a child understands what’s expected but doesn’t consistently follow through, it can be easy to interpret the behavior as defiance, carelessness, lack of motivation, or simply not listening.
But ADHD can affect many of the executive functioning skills involved in turning an expectation into action.
Starting.
Stopping.
Remembering.
Managing emotions.
Shifting attention.
Organizing.
Estimating time.
Following multiple steps.
Regulating impulses.
Completing what was started.
Understanding what’s happening underneath the behavior can change the question from:
“Why won’t my child do this?”
to:
“What might be making this difficult, and what support could help?”
That doesn’t mean eliminating expectations.
It means developing strategies that better account for how ADHD can affect everyday functioning.
This Group Is for You If You Want To:
Feel less alone and more supported
Connect with parents who understand some of the realities of raising a child with ADHD.

What We’ll Focus On
Understanding ADHD & the ADHD Brain
ADHD can affect far more than attention.
Learning how ADHD can influence executive functioning, emotions, behavior, motivation, and everyday tasks gives parents important context for understanding what they see at home.
Greater understanding can help you respond more intentionally rather than reacting only to the behavior in front of you.
Emotional Regulation & Co-Regulation
Big emotions can be difficult for children and exhausting for parents.
We’ll explore emotional regulation as well as co-regulation, including the role parents can play in helping a child navigate difficult emotions while developing regulation skills over time.
The goal isn’t to eliminate emotions.
It’s to develop more effective ways of responding when emotions become difficult to manage.
Executive Functioning Skills
Executive functioning supports many of the everyday skills children are expected to use at home, at school, and in relationships.
Planning.
Remembering.
Starting.
Stopping.
Organizing.
Managing time.
Following directions.
Completing tasks.
Understanding these skills can help parents distinguish between knowing what to do and consistently being able to do it.
Communication & Connection
Sometimes everyone in the family is trying to solve the same problem but the conversation itself becomes another problem.
Clearer communication can help reduce misunderstandings and create opportunities for greater connection.
We’ll explore approaches that can help parents communicate expectations while maintaining the relationship with their child.
Routines, Structure & Follow-Through
Morning routines.
Homework.
Chores.
Activities.
Mealtimes.
Bedtime.
Family life involves dozens of transitions and expectations every day.
For a child with ADHD, keeping all of those steps organized internally may be difficult.
We’ll look at practical ways of creating more external structure and routines that can support follow-through without expecting everything to depend on reminders, frustration, or repeated conflict.
Parent Self-Care & Resilience
Supporting a child with ADHD requires energy.
Parents can become overwhelmed too.
That’s why the group also addresses parent self-care and resilience.
Taking care of yourself isn’t separate from supporting your child. Your own capacity, regulation, expectations, and ability to recover from difficult moments can affect the entire household.
Is This What Parenting ADHD Feels Like in Your Home?
Interested in Joining the Parenting with ADHD Skills Group?
Maybe you’ve wondered:
“Why do I have to remind my child over and over?”
“They know what they’re supposed to do. Why aren’t they doing it?”
“Why does getting out the door have to be this difficult?”
“Why does something so small turn into such a big reaction?”
“How much should I help, and when should I expect them to do it independently?”
“Am I providing support, or am I doing too much?”
“Why do consequences seem to work for a while and then stop working?”
“How do I create routines we can actually maintain?”
“How can I be more patient when I’m overwhelmed too?”
“How do I help my child without every conversation becoming about ADHD?”
These are the kinds of questions that can emerge when you’re trying to balance expectations, independence, support, and connection.
You don’t have to have all of the answers before asking for help.
Practical Strategies You Can Use in Everyday Life
The goal of this group isn’t to create a perfect household.
It’s to help you develop a better understanding of what’s happening and build strategies you can apply when real life happens.
That means approaches you can use during a rushed morning.
During homework.
When emotions escalate.
When your child forgets something again.
When a routine stops working.
Or when you’re simply not sure what to try next.
Because successful parenting strategies shouldn’t only work on the easy days.
They need to be practical enough to use in your actual family.
Learn Alongside Other Parents Who Understand
Parenting a child with ADHD can sometimes feel isolating.
Other people may see a behavior without understanding everything happening behind it.
Advice that sounds simple may not work in your household.
And sometimes you may question whether you’re handling things the “right” way.
The Parenting with ADHD Skills Group creates an opportunity to learn alongside other parents who are navigating many of the same questions.
The brochure describes the environment as a safe, non-judgmental space built around evidence-based education, practical tools, support from other parents, small-group connection, hope, humor, and encouragement.
You don’t have to figure out every ADHD challenge on your own.
The Parenting with ADHD Skills Group provides an opportunity to better understand your child, develop practical strategies, strengthen your connection, and learn alongside other parents who understand the experience.
