For Parents

Is ADHD affecting your family?

ADHD can impact everyone in a family – spouse, parent, or sibling

 

Whether you’re a concerned spouse, or a parent to a child with ADHD, I help increase understanding and resilience, and offer easy-to-apply helpful tools

 

All in a safe, understanding, and confidential space

ADHD’s challenges don’t respect boundaries or geography

The effects of ADHD on people are similar, regardless of country, religious affiliation, or community

It impacts relationships between friends and peers, between family members, and in many cases ex-spouses too

I can help

School-related and social issues

Some schools and people don’t understand, accommodate, or support those with ADHD

Instead, they often punish, and socially isolate, and apply policies that are unintentionally discriminatory and lead to underperformance

Aggression or violence? Over-sensitivity?

Many adults and kids with ADHD are almost constantly stressed and anxious, and in fight or flight mode

This leads to being emotionally hyper-sensitive and, in some cases aggressive too, often as a subconscious defence mechanism

Low self-esteem? Depression?

Children and adults with ADHD – and their parents or spouses – often feel stuck, misunderstood, and develop low self-esteem or even depression

Unaddressed, this can worsen over time

What can we do about these challenges?

Simple, practical tools can help. Especially when done consistently

I help choose the right tools for you, and support you with consistency and accountability

During our holidays, when it got hard, we looked at each other and said: ‘What would Mike do?’ Then we did that. And my mother in law was impressed at the results!! Mike, when can we get a bracelet to remind us?
