  • The episode with Dr Halowell was amazing

    I’ve heard Dr. Halowell on many summits and I am familiar with his Ferrari Engine with bicycle brakes analogy but this podcast was really touching. My key takeaway was to enjoy your kids and that if you’re doing that then you’re doing it right. A lovely message isn’t it?

  • Incredibly helpful AND validating!!

    Lara is a true guru, she gets the life of neurodivergent parenting from the inside out and she has a diverse professional background to back everything up. And her voice is so reassuring in making us believe we can do this, even when it feels impossible. Thank you Lara!

ADHD and Anxiety By Overcoming the Wall of Awful - With Brendan Mahan
Q: What is The Wall of Awful?
It's the emotional barrier that forms as kids struggle with tasks, built from preloaded emotions; to help kids, we must address these emotions first and then engage with the task.
Why Is My Smart ADHD Child Struggling in School? | ADHD Study & Executive Function Tips
Q: Does exam time create anxiety for kids, and how do you handle that?
Andrea notes that anxiety can be mitigated when structure and strategies are in place; if there's no plan, the workload can feel overwhelming. The key is a collaborative plan that is workable when both student and parent are calm, plus teaching students to regulate themselves when needed.
