  • Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast, I'm your host, Stephanie Buckley, an AMFT, Solution Focued Marriage and Family Therapist, who specializes in ADHD, Anxiety and Depression.

    Do your mornings with your child look like this?

    You're running late, and your 10-year-old is refusing to get dressed, yelling that school is “stupid” and slamming the door. Your teen rolls their eyes when asked to join a group project, mutters something sarcastic, and retreats into silence. Or maybe your young adult keeps putting off registering for classes and says they’re just “not ready yet,” even though deadlines are coming fast.

    Sound familiar?

    It might look like defiance, laziness, or even overconfidence
 but what if underneath all of that, it’s actually anxiety? Especially in kids, teens, and young adults with ADHD, anxiety can wear a lot of different masks—and often gets misread.

    In this episode, we explore the power of active listening, a crucial skill that can transform how teens connect with friends, family, teachers, and even themselves. We dive into what active listening really means, why it matters, and how teens can use it to reduce conflict, build stronger relationships, and feel more understood and respected in return. Whether you're a teen learning how to communicate better, or a parent wanting to help your teen grow emotionally and socially, this episode is for you.

    What You’ll Learn:

    What is active listening and how it’s different from just “hearing”Why teens often feel misunderstoodand how active listening helps

    5 simple, powerful techniques for practicing active listening

    Real-life examples of conversations that go wrong (and how to fix them)

    How active listening can improve friendships, reduce family arguments, and even help in school

    Tips for parents to model and encourage active listening at home

    Why It Matters:

    Active listening isn’t just a skill—it’s a connection tool. When teens feel heard, they’re more likely to open up, make better choices, and feel confident in social situations. It’s one of the most underrated life tools a young person can have.

    Quote of the Day

    :"Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply." – Stephen R. Covey

  • Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast, I'm your host, Stephanie Buckley, an AMFT, Solution Focued Marriage and Family Therapist, who specializes in ADHD, OCD and Addiction. Have you ever wondered why kids with ADHD seem to struggle with focus, organization, and impulse control more than their peers? Science has the answer! In this episode, I’m diving into the frontal lobe’s role in ADHD and why its development is 3-5 years delayed compared to neurotypical kids.This means that while an 8-year-old might technically be in third grade, their executive function skills could be more like a 5-year-old’s. It’s not a lack of intelligence—it’s a difference in brain development. And guess what? With the right tools and support, kids with ADHD can thrive.

  • Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast, I'm your host, Stephanie Buckley, an AMFT, Solution Focued Marriage and Family Therapist, who specializes in ADHD, OCD and Addiction. I break down the key differences between IEPs and 504 Plans and how they can help students with ADHD succeed in school.

    If your child struggles with focus, organization, completing assignments, or managing impulsivity, an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) or 504 Plan can provide the accommodations and modifications needed to level the playing field. But what’s the difference between the two, and how do you know which one is right for your child?

    I share our own family's personal experience as a parent navigating this process, the mistakes I wished I had avoided, and how early advocacy can change a child’s academic experience.

    This episode will cover:
    What an IEP is and who qualifies for one
    What a 504 Plan is and how it supports ADHD students
    Key differences between IEPs and 504s
    How to request an evaluation and advocate for your child
    What accommodations and modifications actually look like in the classroom

    If you’re unsure how to get support for your child at school, this episode will help you understand your rights, how to communicate with teachers and administrators, and how to ensure your child gets the help they need.

  • Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast, I'm your host, Stephanie Buckley, AMFT Marriage and Family Therapist, who specializes in ADHD, OCD and Addiction. In today's episode I explore the power of parenting with a united front and how it impacts a child’s emotional security, executive functioning, and behavior.

    When parents consistently support each other’s decisions, they provide a structured, predictable

    environment that helps children develop:
    Emotional intelligence & self-regulation
    Respect for authority & boundaries
    Executive functioning skills like problem-solving & impulse control
    Stronger social and relationship skills

    This episode will help you understand:

    Why inconsistency in parenting creates confusion & anxiety
    How undermining each other affects a child’s trust & decision-making
    Real-life examples of parenting conflicts & how to resolve them
    5 actionable strategies to build a strong, united parenting front

    If you’ve ever struggled with disagreeing on rules, discipline, or decision-making, this episode will give you practical tools to create consistency, teamwork, and a peaceful home environment.

    Key Takeaways

    Consistency Builds Confidence – When kids see their parents align, they feel secure and understand expectations.
    Avoid Undermining Each Other – Contradicting a partner in front of a child teaches manipulation instead of cooperation.
    Healthy Conflict Resolution Matters – Parents don’t always have to agree, but they should discuss disagreements privately and present a unified message.
    Structure & Predictability Help Kids Thrive – A strong parenting team provides the foundation for strong executive functioning, problem-solving, and emotional stability.
    Lead by Example – Children model what they see. Show them how teamwork, respect, and compromise work in action.

  • Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I'm your host Stephanie Buckley, an AMFT, Solution-Focused Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, and Addiction. I explore how perfectionism, hyperactivity, inattention, and compulsions manifest in preschool and kindergarten-aged children.

    Recognizing the early signs of ADHD and OCD in young children can be difficult, as young kids often lack the words to describe what they’re experiencing. Yet, early intervention can make all the difference in helping children manage anxiety, improve focus, and build emotional resilience.

    Using the DSM-5 criteria, real-life examples, and a Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) approach, this episode provides practical tools for parents and educators to create a supportive, structured environment for children struggling with focus, anxiety, and rigid behaviors.

    Tune in to discover:
    The difference between perfectionism and OCD-driven compulsions
    How ADHD impacts attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity in young kids
    Real-life examples of what ADHD & OCD look like in a classroom or home setting
    Solution-Focused strategies to foster self-regulation and emotional resilience

    Using Solution-Focused Therapy, small shifts—such as deep breathing, sensory grounding, and structured routines—can create a safe and structured environment where children can thrive both at home and in the classroom.

  • "Welcome back to The Path to Peace Podcast! I’m your host, Stephanie Buckley, an AMFT Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in ADHD/ OCD and Addiction. Today I'm diving into a topic that so many parents, teachers, and even individuals with ADHD struggle with—why do ADHD brains sometimes say whatever comes to mind? Whether it’s blurting out an inappropriate comment, interrupting, or struggling to read social cues, these moments can lead to frustration, embarrassment, or even conflict in relationships."

    "But here’s the thing—this isn’t about bad behavior. It’s about brain chemistry, impulsivity, and social processing differences. In today’s episode, I’ll walk you through some reasons why ADHD can affect communication, and more importantly, I’ll share solution-focused strategies to help make conversations smoother, more mindful, and more successful. Whether you're a parent helping your child, a teen struggling with social situations, or an adult wanting to improve communication, this episode is packed with insights you can start using today."

    "So, let’s get into it—because ADHD doesn’t have to mean communication struggles. It’s all about learning how to work with the brain, not against it."

  • Solution-Focused Therapy & ADHD – Small Wins, Big Impact

    In this episode of The Path to Peace Podcast, I’m sharing the modality I use in my practice and at home—one that I’ve found works miracles, especially for teens with ADHD. Solution-Focused Therapy shifts the focus from what’s going wrong to what can get done, helping teens work toward goals with minimal frustration and emotional "scar tissue."

    We’ll dive into:

    How Solution-Focused Therapy helps teens with ADHD stay motivated
    Why small wins are powerful stepping stones to long-term success
    The importance of age-appropriate, collaborative, and empowering reinforcement
    Practical positive reinforcement strategies that actually work

    If you’re looking for a strengths-based approach that encourages progress, not perfection, this episode will give you the tools to help your teen gain confidence, focus, and success—without constant battles or burnout.

    Tune in now to learn how to create an ADHD-friendly environment where small wins lead to big breakthroughs!
