Parenting ADHD: Tips and real talk with ADHD parenting experts

October is ADHD awareness month and I invited Lori Long and Katie Severson founders of The Childhood Collective an online resource to help parents of children with ADHD. Whether you or your child has ADHD or not; we discuss some very important parenting strategies that you may find useful even if your child does not have ADHD. 

We discuss: 

• What to remember about the ADHD brain and how to better approach your child with ADHD
• Why some parenting discipline strategies like gentle parenting may not work with children with ADHD and what they may need instead  
• How to approach ADHD parenting with prevention versus consequences

To connect with Dr. Mallory Yee and Dr. Lori Long follow them on Instagram @thechildhoodcollective, check out all their resources at https://www.thechildhoodcollective.com/ and download their free guide: 6 Keys to Parenting a Happy and Independent Child with ADHD.
