Neuro-affirming parenting support you can work through at your own pace, to start your summer off smoothly!
Summer can feel like a LOT for ADHD families. If last summer was a nightmare or this spring has been exhausting, you might be freaking out right now. And you are not alone.
You have the Summer Scaries because...
You know, "I'm booooored" is in your future and it makes you want to pull your hair out.
You're worried that your ADHDer is going to be constantly picking fights with their siblings.
- You dread the power struggles, and wish you could engage with your child in a way that doesn't feel so exhausting.
- You don't want to spend your summer threatening to take away screens (you need the break!) or canceling plans that you want to enjoy, as well.
I get it.
Hi! I'm Sarah, a therapist and mom of three.
Like lots of parents of neurodivergent kids, I got my ADHD diagnosis after my kid got theirs.
While the main tenants I've always taught in my Respectful Parenting workshops and use with my own kids remain true, parenting through a neurodivergent lens can be a huge game-changer for families.
We are still going to treat our children with empathy and respect, and we are definitely going to be looking for the underlying needs behind our kids' big behaviors so we can support them instead of using rewards and punishments.
But we're also going to use our understanding of our child's unique brain wiring to help them regulate, stay engaged and not pick fights with their siblings all summer.
Imagine what it would feel like to...
Offer your child a summer that includes rest and regulation, while also getting stuff done (like laundry or sight words) without a constant power struggle.
Be confident that you understand what your child is trying to communicate through their behavior and know how to meet that need, so you see less of the "bad" behavior.
Have practical tools at your fingertips that honor your unique child's interests, sensory needs and emotional bandwidth.
Without forcing your child to sign a strict "summer contract"
I'll share why those strict contracts set us parents up to fail!
Join me for:
The Summer Sanity Workshop is a recording of a live, 75-minute workshop for parents of kids aged 4-10, who want to learn practical, neuro-affirming strategies to survive those Summer Scaries.
At the end of our time together, you'll walk away with:
A better understanding of how your child might experience the huge shift from the school year into summer break, and what you can do to help.
A flexible plan that feels right for your unique child, so you can offer structure while still allowing for rest.
A"cheat sheet" that you will create around your child's interests, sensory needs and emotional bandwidth in mind, so you're ready when you sense a power struggle coming your way.
The confidence to parent through this summer without rewards and punishments, or fear-based motivation.
Easy to access guides to keep around your house, with tips for co-regulating during major meltdowns and repairing after ruptures.
