ADHD Parent? Your Child's Meltdowns May Be Hitting Closer to Home Than You Think
Finding yourself going from zero to sixty when your child has a meltdown? You're not alone. What many parents don't realize is that their own executive function challenges could be making it harder to stay regulated during difficult parenting moments.
Lauren O'Carroll, a peaceful parenting coach and mother of two, discovered this firsthand. After years of struggling with explosive reactions to her children's big feelings, she finally received an ADHD diagnosis as an adult.
Like many women, her ADHD had gone undetected through childhood, masked by her ability to "keep it together" - until the demands of parenting pushed her to burnout.
Join me for an intimate conversation with Lauren where we explore:
Why parenting can suddenly make ADHD symptoms more apparent
The connection between ADHD and emotional dysregulation
Practical strategies for building self-regulation skills
How to move from shame to self-compassion as a neurodivergent parent
