ADHD Parenting Resources

If your child has been diagnosed with ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), you know that ADHD parenting can present many challenges. Children who are diagnosed with ADHD are often also sensitive youngsters, both emotionally and physically sensitive to external stimuli in their environment. Sensory processing disorder (SPD), often linked with ADHD, impacts how the brain processes sensory information, such as light, sound, smell, taste, and touch. ADHD can present in many different ways, making for unpredictable or possibly undesirable ways of acting out. Ultimately, most parents of ADHD children want to help their children manage their symptoms and thrive. Many are looking for a calm and harmonious home environment, but may not know where to begin. You’re in the right place for ADHD parenting coaching. Sweet Spot Parent Coaching has ADHD resources for parents so you can better know yourself and how to work with your child, creating a calm, cooperative, and loving environment. 

ADHD Parenting

Children with ADHD often have trouble with focus and attention. They might seem easily distracted, have difficulty following instructions, and struggle to finish tasks. For them, impulsivity is common, leading to acting without thinking, interrupting others, and difficulty waiting their turn. Some children with ADHD also experience hyperactivity, fidgeting, squirming, and excessive talking. It's important to remember that ADHD affects children differently, and these behaviors are not intentional or defiant. ADHD parenting may lead some to feel like their child is deliberately disrespecting them. But it’s important to know they’re not, necessarily, and our parenting skills for ADHD can certainly help in your parenting journey.

ADHD Resources for Parents

Sweet Spot Parent Coaching offers helpful resources and teaches parenting skills for ADHD. One resource is our free guide “Debunking the 5 Myths of Parenting a Highly Sensitive Child”, available on our website. This guide breaks down the common misconceptions people make about parenting children with ADHD, educates parents on what traits define highly sensitive children, and coaches parents on how to work with their child in more effective and empathetic ways. In addition to this resource, Sweet Spot Parent Coaching offers ADHD parent coaching services. We approach coaching in a nonjudgmental way, with empathy and understanding of the complexities of raising a child. We also offer SPD strategies as well as help with discipline and ADHD.
