Family Coaching

for Families Impacted by ADHD

ADHD kids require family support. This support is effective when the family as a whole develops tactics to help them carry out tasks. To identify tactics, we first need to investigate how ADHD manifests in their everyday lives and gain insights into what their underlying challenges are.

​

Ways ADHD affects lives differ by individual, age, or situation. Through coaching, we create strategies to ensure your child builds life skills to overcome ADHD while minimizing a level of frustration for parents. Developing a system to adjust strategies is also critical as they grow and face different challenges.

​

...Because this is not a sprint. It is a marathon. 

​

Coaching also focuses on equipping parents with tools to explore the best way to work through issues. Our ADHD kids need support 24/7 day-in, day-out. We all have to be their coach at home by recognizing signs, identifying underlying challenges, and applying remedies so that they are getting consistent support to be more self-aware and confident in the long-run.
