Our journey in the world of ADHD began when our daughters were diagnosed with the disorder. Alissa Lozinski, a dear friend who has been through the same journey, joins me as we peel back the layers of our experiences parenting neurodivergent children. In our candid conversation, we uncover the initial struggle of diagnosis, the maze of sensory issues, and the various strategies we've implemented, including occupational therapy, neurofeedback, and parent coaching. We believe our personal revelations could be a beacon of hope for parents finding their way in the same circumstances. 
What does it mean to parent a neurodivergent child? We've learned it involves understanding, resilience, and a lot of love. Our daughters' ADHD diagnoses were not the end, but rather the beginning of a journey into comprehending the mental aspects of the disorder and dealing with sensory issues. We discovered these issues aren't a one-size-fits-all – they can manifest differently in children and adults, adding another layer of complexity. Alissa shares her personal experiences, shedding light on her own struggle with her daughter's ADHD, and how she's navigated the myriad of challenges it presents. 
While we discuss our frustrations and challenges, we also celebrate our triumphs. We've explored various therapeutic avenues that have proven valuable in managing ADHD. Among these is neurofeedback, a technique that shows promise in regulating brain function and behavior. As parents, we've learned that understanding neurodivergence is the first step towards a fulfilling life for our children. We invite you to join us as we share our story, hoping to provide comfort, insights, and perhaps even a new perspective on parenting neurodivergent children.
