Designed for parents of children who have suspected or diagnosed ADHD, or similar neurodivergent characteristics, these free 45-minute sessions offer a weekly opportunity to learn and discuss parenting challenges in a non-judgemental environment.
All sessions are completely free, and you can join as many as you wish. Each week, 25-30 minutes will be dedicated to a new topic, with 15-20 interactive minutes dedicated to Q&A, where any parent can meet (virtually), share (if you want) and hear from other parents on similar journeys.
ℹ TOPICS INCLUDE:
• Overcoming learned helplessness
• Combatting rejection sensitivity
• Strengthening self-regulation
• Enhancing executive functioning
• Building resilience skills
• Cultivating a growth mindset
• Encouraging positive reinforcement
• Managing moods with mindfulness
• Outwitting oppositional defiance
• Navigating school challenges
• Promoting positive relationships
• Fostering independence in your child
Each session explores different challenges, positive psychology approaches, and practical strategies to promote parenting self-efficacy, enhance wellbeing, and influence positive behavioural changes.
