Jenny and Ryan, both educators, were struggling with their two ADHD children, ages 6 and 9. Every day was filled with battles over homework, constant calls from school about behavior issues, and exhausting power struggles at home.

"We felt so isolated," Jenny shared. "No one in our circle understood what we were going through. We tried everything - reward charts, consequences, even dietary changes - but nothing seemed to work consistently."

After implementing my strategies, they noticed a dramatic shift in their children and the peace of their home.

"We've been able to create more structure without the constant fighting. Our mornings are calmer, and for the first time, we feel like we're working with our children's brains instead of against them."

The most significant change for Jenny and Ryan? "We're enjoying our family time again. We're not just surviving each day - we're actually connecting with our kids."

Kristen is an educational consultant and mom of two boys with ADHD (11 and 13), was totally at her wit's end with screen time battles and morning chaos.

"I feel like our relationship is just one transaction after another!" Kristen told me. "He gets so frustrated when I say no, and honestly, I'm just exhausted." Despite knowing better as an education professional, she found herself driving her kids to school most mornings because they couldn't get it together for the bus, even with her constant reminders.

After trying my boundary-setting strategies and ADHD-friendly reward systems, Kristen said: "The new checklist worked GREAT this morning! Both boys earned their coupons. I only gave two quick time checks but didn't nag them at all!"

Now their family can actually enjoy hiking and being outdoors together without the power struggles that used to drain everyone's energy.

Ruth is a psychologist and mom of three (two with ADHD). She found herself in a frustrating spot that many professional parents completely get. Despite her training, she struggled with her kids' lack of impulse control at home.

"My oldest sometimes hits his siblings when he's triggered," Ruth shared during one of our calls."I know I should give a consequence, but honestly, consequences don't seem to help when his impulsive brain takes over." Getting her kids to do chores or stop sneaking treats felt like an uphill battle, despite all her professional knowledge.

After trying my specific techniques for giving instructions and managing impulsivity, Ruth had that "aha" moment so many parents have. She shared, "I thought I was doing it right, but these small tweaks have changed everything. He's actually doing his laundry now!" 

Even when you know the theory, having practical ADHD-specific strategies makes all the difference in real family life.

Colleen, a mom from Canada, was struggling to connect with her 14-year-old daughter with ADHD. Their relationship had become a series of requests met with eye rolls and resistance.

"I couldn't ask her to do anything without it turning into a whole thing," Colleen told me. "Even simple stuff like putting away laundry became this huge standoff."

Like many parents, she watched their once-close relationship slip away as the teen years hit. After working through my program, Colleen learned to shift from commanding to coaching.

"My daughter actually told me things feel easier now," she shared.

"And honestly, just knowing I'm not the only one dealing with this has been huge." The best part is they're actually enjoying each other's company again, instead of just managing behaviors and arguing all the time.
