So, why is Barkley so big on us getting professional evaluation and support right off the bat? What's the deal there?

    Barkley's not your average parenting guru – he's all about ditching the control-freak vibe and swapping it for a more laid-back, supportive approach.

But how exactly does mindfulness help us chill while also helping our little ones navigate their big feelings? And don't even get me started on communication – Barkley's got some tricks up his sleeve for simplifying instructions and giving more high-fives. But will these strategies really make a difference in our daily parent-kid chats?

    Let's get ready to soak in some serious insights that could totally change the game for us and our ADHD kiddos. How might Barkley's principles shake things up and make life a little easier and more awesome for us all? Find out in this episode.

  • In today’s episode, are you ready to dive into the insightful world of "Hold on to Your Kids" by Gordon Newfield and Gabour Maté? As someone who enjoys reading two to three books a month, often opting for audiobooks during daily commutes, I stumbled upon this gem exploring the intricate dynamics of parenting, attachment, and the challenges parents might face when their children turn to peers for guidance instead of seeking it from them.

Do you resonate with the acknowledgment of fluctuating dynamics in parent-child relationships and the hope provided by proactive steps to strengthen the bond?
