Are ADHD meltdowns draining the joy from your days?
Do routines constantly fall apart, no matter how hard you try?

You’re not failing — your child’s brain is wired differently. This episode can help.

In this episode of Mom Life Uncomplicated, I’m back with ADHD coach and counselor Kristina Manning for Part 2 of our series. We’re diving deeper into practical strategies to support your child’s ADHD brain — without yelling, bribing, or burning yourself out.

Kristina shares tools that actually work at home and in the classroom, plus how parents can take care of themselves while raising neurodiverse kids.

🧠 Here’s What We Cover:

• The 3 R’s approach: Regulate, Relate, Reason (in that order!)

• Why your calm comes first — and how to get it

• Tools that help your child calm down (wall pushes, calm corners, sensory kits, and more)

• How to find what works for your unique child through observation

• Creating effective routines for mornings, after school, and homework

• How to adjust communication to ADHD brains

• The power of visual timers, checklists, and reward-specific praise

• What to say instead of yelling

• Being the squeaky wheel at school — how to advocate without burning bridges

• Building consistency, connection, and compassion into everyday parenting

Your child’s struggles aren’t your fault. ADHD requires a different parenting lens — one that blends structure, empathy, and strategy.
This episode shows you how to support your child and yourself with tools that bring more calm and connection to your home.
