- I asked my son to do something that at this point shouldn't be a battle at all. But it was. I asked my son to brush his teeth before bed. I know I know, what a terrible mom! As soon as I asked, his refusal kicked on, his silliness increased, he was delaying, delaying, delaying.
I was able to talk to him after the power struggle and in fact audio recorded so I could hear him and learn what was getting in his way.
HE SPILLED THE MOST IMPORTANT DETAILS! And I'm sharing them with you!! Get ready to understand your kids like never before! I am breaking down each sentence and the peer reviewed studies that back up everything he is saying!!! It's wild and so so important to know!
🚨FIRST EVER ADHD BEHAVIOR BLUEPRINT 🚨LIVE EVENT IS HAPPENING!!🚨
You're having the same power struggle over the tasks that HAVE to get done. Homework, teeth brushing, putting ONE piece of clothing away, bedtime… heaven forbid you ALSO ask that they speak kindly during this process. 🤯
The level of overwhelm, dysregulation, and frustration you're living with day to day is real and it's unfair. 🙅🏼♀️This is NOT what you pictured parenting to look like, and this version of you as a parent, is not aligning with your values.
You want to be a kind, accepting, patient person but you end up snapping or getting into your ADHD kid's feelings with them.
🎉But that all changes now! 🎉
You're going to be able to stop walking on eggshells, stop feeling utterly defeated and like you're making all the wrong choices, and ACTUALLY KNOW how you and your child can get through both transitions and all the everyday "must do tasks" without yet another fight! AND, you don't need to repeat yourself to the point of yelling!
Imagine feeling grounded and proud of yourself for navigating the day with regulation instead of multiple yelling matches.
There are many ADHD strategies out there, but after working exclusively with severe high conflict families, I've filtered out what doesn't work for ADHD kids (*cough gentle parenting) and combined my education, research & lived experience into the core A.B.L.E. Method.
You do not need to have the same battle every day. It starts with regulation, a plan, some practice reps, and a lot of reinforcement. Not sure how that looks in real life? Don't worry! I've got your back in a 2 day live event (well on zoom but with me😂) where we go over YOUR repeated battle and we BUILD YOUR PLAN so all you have to do is execute it!
January 9th & 10th, 2027 (9am-11am PST both days) *Recorded for those who can't attend live.
No more second guessing, no more confusion, just a proven strategy to support your power struggle.
This live event IS FREE to all existing ResponseABLE Community members!
So come to a free masterclass or just JOIN THE PROGRAM, and get ready to have me walk side by side with you as we map out your 2027 behavior plan so you can actually start enjoying time with your ADHD child again!

Book a call with me to connect on areas of your parenting that are causing pain, struggle, or frustration. https://calendly.com/responseableparenting/call - Part of parenting an ADHD child is that the volume of challenges can really chip away at the well of unconditional love. And you wake up one day realizing there is a long list of conditions that your child has to meet in order to feel that unconditional energy. I don't say this as criticism. I say this as having experienced it and knowing how gutting that feeling can be.
In this episode I share a mindset and schedule shift that needs to happen in order to shift that trajectory towards the positive and away from the what feels like inevitable divided relationship.

It broke my heart. I knew exactly what she meant. And I wanted to share something with everyone in this community. You're not a bad parent.

In this episode I'm going to share a few techniques and give you a little homework to do this week to help you take a very proactive step towards reacting less and controlling your emotions more.

Book a call with me to connect on areas of your parenting that are causing pain, struggle, or frustration. https://calendly.com/responseableparenting/call - Rage is getting louder. Rage is feeling more ever present in the world of women in their 40s. And rage is influencing our parenting and our relationships. Rage is a key indicator of perimenopause. And when we are in perimenopause our estrogen is fluctuating causing us to have less of an ability to buffer hard emotions and manage negative feelings.
In this episode I share how complex this moment can be for us as mothers to ADHD children and the ONE strategy that we will do together as a tribe of mothers to support ourselves. Not so we can support the rest of the family at a level of perfection that we've been striving for that cannot be attained…Rather so we can pull the roots of perfectionism out of our lives and free ourselves from this anger, rage, shame cycle we find ourselves in more and more often.

About ResponseABLE Parenting
We come to parenting with all the patterns we learned in our own childhood. Together in this podcast, we uncover the roots of our reactivity and grow in education, capacity, awareness, and skills so we will be able to respond vs. react to our strong-willed children. The beauty of this process is as you become a ResponseAble Parent, the "misbehavior" of your children will lessen, the yelling will fall away and a new level of companionship and cooperation will take its place. Welcome to the journey of ResponseAble Parenting. Take a deep breath in, slow exhale out, and let's get to work.
