  • Finally found the help we needed

    A lot of the resources I have found, have been for adults or older children with ADHD. It’s lovely to finally find one aimed at smaller children. Also the practical examples and the hosts sharing their experiences make you feel less alone. Thankyou so much

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#218: How ADHD Moms Can Find Their People (Even When It Feels Hard)
Q: What concrete steps can moms take today to start building their network without burning out?
Start with the people you already see regularly, observe who feels like a good fit, start with a simple conversation, and prepare a brief intro and exit line to manage anxiety. Practice makes progress, and choosing to engage with even a small amount of vulnerability can grow a supportive circle over time.
#218: How ADHD Moms Can Find Their People (Even When It Feels Hard)
Q: What does finding community look like in real life for moms with ADHD?
It starts with using proximity—being where other moms are already present—and taking small, doable steps to reach out, even if it feels awkward. Testing conversations, finding common ground, and gradually building trust leads to real connections, rather than waiting for perfect timing.
#216: ADHD Sensory Issues in Kids: Real Solutions for Mealtime and Getting Dressed
Q: What should prompt a feeding evaluation or OT referral?
If a child has extreme reactions to food (gagging or vomiting), eats very limited foods, or if mealtime stress is affecting daily life at home or school, a referral to an OT feeding specialist or pediatrician is warranted.
#216: ADHD Sensory Issues in Kids: Real Solutions for Mealtime and Getting Dressed
Q: How do parents know if their child has sensory needs related to ADHD?
The OT guest explains that sensory differences can involve multiple systems; signs include over- or under-responsiveness to touch, sounds, smells, and textures, and a mixed profile where a child seeks some inputs while avoiding others. Parents should observe across all senses, not just look for hyperactivity.
#213: Your Questions Answered: ADHD, Sports, and Big Feelings
Q: How do I deal with my child not wanting to do a new activity even when they had said they wanted to?
Acknowledge their feelings, but provide encouragement and small steps to gradually engage them with the new activity.
