One of the trickiest aspects of parenting with ADHD is that, very often, the best parenting strategies -- the ones that help our kids the most -- require calm, well-regulated parents. And that’s not always easy to accomplish when parents have their own big emotions. In this conversation, we’ll identify at least 2 of the 10 main differences in an ADHD brain that create more intense negative emotions (in kids and adults), and get guidance on 2 essential components to manage those challenges. We’ll talk about why ADHD brains feel their feelings so intensely, and how we can manage our own emotions even when our kids are pushing every last button.
Marcy Caldwell, Psy.D. is a clinical psychologist, writer, and proud mom of 2 in a family full of ADHD who has been helping adults with ADHD thrive for over twenty years. She is a passionate advocate for adults with neurodiverse brains and is dedicated to helping them create environments that unlock their unique genius. Marcy is the founder of ADDept.org, a blog and digital resource for adults with ADHD, the owner and director of The Center for ADHD, and the creator of Meltdown to Mastery, an innovative digital program that helps adults with ADHD learn to better regulate their emotions.
Listen to this Parenting With Impact episode with Marcy Caldwell, Psy.D. about navigating emotions.
Here is what to expect on this week’s show:
Marcy highlights that individuals with ADHD tend to amplify negative stimuli while minimizing positive ones, leading to a cycle of negative emotional feedback and self-perception.
Marcy emphasizes the importance of allowing oneself to experience a range of emotions, including big joy, anger, and sadness.
Marcy shares the concept of decreased early sensory encoding in ADHD brains; this phenomenon causes individuals to process negative information more intensely than positive information, leading to heightened negative emotions.

To say that this conversation is inspirational and heartfelt, thoughtful and emotional, and fundamentally captures all that this summit intends to convey to our listeners -- well, that’s an understatement. This conversation with Marvyn Harrison offers a fresh perspective on what it means to be an adult diagnosed with ADHD, what it means to be a black man diagnosed with and treated for ADHD, what it means to be a father with ADHD, a partner, an entrepreneur, a thought-leader. You get the picture. This conversation is a meta conversation about ADHD. And while it will appeal to everyone, it’s likely that it will resonate most with the adults with ADHD who are continuously trying to understand and manage themselves.
Marvyn Harrison is a visionary business consultant driving cultural change through BELOVD, working with clients like WPP, Footlocker, and News UK. As the founder of Dope Black Dads and Dope Black Men, he inspires greater change, advocating for the Black community across the UK, US, and Africa. A media contributor on platforms like Good Morning Britain and BBC 5Live, Marvyn has also authored two children’s books, *I Love Me* and *The Best Me,* and is writing a guide on personal transformation for men. His late-life ADHD diagnosis fuels his impactful work.
Listen to this Parenting With Impact episode with Marvyn Harrison about fatherhood and undiagnosed ADHD.
Here is what to expect on this week’s show:
Marvyn discusses his journey towards self-discovery and understanding his late-life ADHD diagnosis and the need for conscious in managing the condition.
One crucial tip shared by Marvyn revolves around the importance of being present and tuned in to your children's needs.
Marvyn points out, "There is no program to help men better at home. It's just kind of do it because it's the right thing to do." This calls for a more supportive and inclusive approach to fatherhood, acknowledging the diverse roles and responsibilities that dads undertake.

In the world of childhood ADHD, you may have heard of Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD), and you might even have some opinions about it, too. It often travels with untreated ADHD. But as the medical community begins to understand the overlap between ADHD and Autism, we want to invite you to learn more about a presentation of Autism called PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance). To be honest, there’s some controversy about this diagnosis, because it exists in the UK and Australia, but not officially in the US. So, let’s focus instead on the reality of what’s going on when a child resists and avoids the demands of life! In our community, we’ve learned that if you can understand what’s underlying troublesome behaviors, you can support them better. And this conversation with Nicola is guaranteed to help you do just that!
Nicola Reekie is a parent to a young, autistic person who has a PDA profile. PDA is an abbreviation for Pathological Demand Avoidance or, as some prefer, Pervasive Drive for Autonomy. Her mission is to support families and professionals in understanding PDA, and she founded The PDA Space to provide resources that will deepen their understanding to create a safer environment for young people. A solution-focused therapist, Nicola collaborates with many amazing families, education and healthcare professionals to information and an excellent support network that supports their emotional well-being and helps to create calm in often challenging situations.
Listen to this Parenting With Impact episode with Nicola Reekie.
Here is what to expect on this week’s show:
The episode highlights the significance of approaching individuals with PDA with compassion and understanding, focusing on their unique needs rather than demanding conformity.
Nicola emphasizes the importance of establishing connections and collaborating with individuals with PDA.
Nicola explains framing behaviors as neurologically driven rather than defiant can shift the perspective and reduce stigma.

Whether you’re talking about ADHD, Autism, or 2e, developing neurodivergent brains in kids require adults to understand what it takes to get activated. The ADHD brain, for example, is understimulated. It doesn’t respond to rewards the same way as neurotypical brains. And it has a complicated relationship with motivation. So how can you help kids with ADHD (and other kinds of neurodiversity) to get essential stuff done? One key motivational tool is novelty. Join us to understand better why ADHD brains thrive on novelty, how novelty and motivation are tied together, and how you as a parent or a professional can integrate novelty when supporting your kids (of any age!). And remember: this fundamental hack can serve you well with all members of your family and community.
Emily Kircher-Morris, M.A., M.Ed., LPC, is a former educator, author, and speaker. Inspired by her own experiences as a neurodivergent person, she is dedicated to destigmatizing neurodiversity and supporting neurodivergent people of all ages. She hosts The Neurodiversity Podcast, which explores the psychological, educational, and social needs of neurodivergent people, and is the author of several books, including "Teaching Twice-Exceptional Learners in Today's Classroom"(Free Spirit Publishing, 2021), "Raising Twice-Exceptional Children" (Taylor & Francis, 2022), "A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children" (Gifted Unlimited, LLC, 2023), and "Neurodiversity-Affirming Schools" (Free Spirit Publishing, in press). She speaks at statewide, national, and international conferences and is in private practice in Missouri.

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:
Phil discusses the systematic approach to diagnosing and treating ADHD in patients of all ages. His focus on providing comprehensive care through assessments, treatment, and support services reflects a shift towards acknowledging and accepting ADHD as a neurodiverse condition that requires attention and understanding.
Phil emphasizes the importance of addressing skepticism towards ADHD diagnosis and the benefits of medication and accommodations for individuals with ADHD. He advocates for improved outcomes and quality of life, using examples like comparing ADHD medication side effects to common pain relievers and discussing the necessity of accommodations, such as extended time in exams, to support individuals with ADHD in achieving success.
Phil emphasizes the importance of evidence-based practices in advocating for ADHD acceptance and treatment.

In this FREE guide, you'll discover your role in communication dynamics and 10 simple but effective ways to help you build more trust and calm in your communication with your complex kids -- and any relationship.
Here is what to expect on this week’s show:
Aaron emphasizes the significance of a parenting approach with strong boundaries, influenced by his parents' progressive attitudes with stern, traditional discipline and expectations. He credits his mom and stepdad for instilling in him the value of setting strong boundaries while supporting and uplifting children. This approach reflects a modern understanding that focuses on empowering children while maintaining clear guidelines and expectations.
Aaron advocates for parents to acknowledge past parenting approaches, embrace radical change, and commit to making necessary adjustments for a better future. He emphasizes the importance of parents doing their inner work, healing past wounds, and being present for their children in a way that meets their needs.

Top 12 Tips To Help Your Complex Kids
Got complex kids? Yeah, so do we. Parenting a complex kid can be frustrating, overwhelming, and isolating. It can also be incredibly rewarding -- with the right help and guidance! This FREE insider's guide from the experts at ImpactParents includes our top 12 tips to help you create a calm, peaceful home and guide your kids to become more independent every day.
Here is what to expect on this week’s show:
The developmentalist approach, explained by Deborah McNamara, focuses on understanding human development and its connection to parenting. This approach emphasizes helping children grow and thrive, and understanding what parents need to do to support their child's development.
Parenting complex kids can be a challenging and rewarding journey. These complex kids require parents to adapt and be flexible to understand their unique needs. Parenting, in general, is an adaptive endeavor, but it becomes even more apparent when raising children with complex needs. The key to adaptation lies in keeping our hearts warm and maintaining a sense of care and patience, even in the face of frustration and stress.
Neurodivergent development explores the challenges faced by parents of neurodivergent children. Deborah emphasizes the importance of creating supportive environments and providing structure, routine, and boundaries to help these children develop their identity and navigate the world.
Trial and error is crucial for neurodivergent individuals to navigate their lives and find their passions. By giving them opportunities to be the answer to something, such as through volunteer work or involvement in a community, they can develop a sense of identity and learn appropriate behavior.
The topic of holding on to kids while allowing them to let go explores the long-term relationship between parents and their children. Deborah emphasizes the importance of this throughout their development, from infancy to adulthood. She finds inspiration in Gordon and Gabbar's book, "Hold on to Your Kids." Holding on to our children means providing support and guidance, even when we are not physically present. It involves instilling our values and fostering a healthy and independent relationship.

This conversation is a must listen for anyone with kids or adults who have ADHD in your family!
Dr. Aaron Dodini is a seasoned clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience in diagnosing and treating ADHD, particularly focusing on high achieving professionals and athletes who may have been overlooked in the diagnosis process. Aaron firmly believes in a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating ADHD, emphasizing that there is no one-size-fits-all treatment. He advocates for a combination of medication, behavioral interventions, coaching, therapy, and creating supportive environments to address the various aspects of ADHD.

Parenting is Leadership
Parenting is a leadership opportunity. With the "Parenting is Leadership" Guide from ImpactParents, two frameworks and a dozen core competencies will guide you to up-level your parenting... and improve the most important relationships of your life.
Here is what to expect on this week’s show:
Aaron emphasizes the importance of working with families, systems, and communities to provide support. He believes that a proper diagnosis for adults is crucial for improving their lives and their ability to support their children. When parents receive the support they need, they can reinforce support for their kids, leading to greater intimacy within the family.
According to Aaron, there is no cure for ADHD, but a combination of approaches can be beneficial. Medication is important, but should be complemented with behavioral training, therapies, and exercises. Aaron emphasizes the importance of using a whole toolbox of strategies to address the various aspects of ADHD.
Aaron explains, ADHD can be a catalyst for personal growth and excellence. Embracing a diagnosis of ADHD can lead to thriving and personal development. Therapy can help adults navigate the emotional aspects and come to terms with their diagnosis, although it may not address all executive function challenges. Aaron emphasizes the importance of self-love, compassion, and understanding oneself better, which therapy can facilitate. Ultimately, an ADHD diagnosis can serve as an invitation to self-awareness and growth.
Many of our defense mechanisms and ways of motivating ourselves that once served us well may no longer be effective as we evolve. Elaine mentions the "stick" that adults with ADHD have used to beat themselves up in order to be successful. While this coping mechanism may have worked in the past, it is important for individuals to learn to put the stick down and find healthier ways to motivate themselves.

By becoming the master of our own attitude, we can live a happier, more successful, and fulfilled life.
Jesse stresses how the importance of self-care and grace are essential for maintaining mental and emotional well-being. He highlights the importance of prioritizing self-care and adopting a positive attitude, even in the face of adversity. Jesse acknowledges that everyone's experiences and backgrounds differ, but it is crucial to empathize with others and recognize the validity of their struggles. He encourages individuals, regardless of age or circumstance, to understand that they are not alone in their challenges and that seeking resources and support is a positive step.
Jesse discusses balancing independence and parental guidance is a complex task for parents in today's digital age. One of the biggest challenges parents face is managing their children's relationship with technology, particularly smartphones and social media. Setting systems in place to monitor screen time and access is important, as the allure of endless scrolling and the influence of online content can negatively impact a child's life.

Sonali shares her experiences and the difficulties she faced in her relationship with her children. Sonali realized she needed to find her own approach to parenting, one that aligned with her needs and the needs of her children. She emphasizes the importance of connection and sharing truth with ourselves and our kids, rather than trying to fit into a mold of what parenting should look like.
Sonali emphasizes the challenge of meeting both parent and child needs simultaneously. She suggests acknowledging both the child and parent's needs instead of trying to fix the situation. One effective approach she recommends is using nonverbal communication.
She expresses the importance of feeling safe and stable in any emotional situation, whether dealing with a frustrated child or facing overwhelming circumstances. Sonali introduces the SHUAVE Process, which involves accepting and approving of oneself, aligning with emotions, and feeling a sense of belonging and validation.

Debbie Steinberg Kuntz is a licensed marriage and family therapist and founder of Bright & Quirky. When she started her family counseling practice a decade ago, she had no idea this would be her specialty. But her sons, now teenagers, had some unique strengths and challenges that she dove deeply into understanding.
Debbie learned that they were ‘2e’ or ‘twice exceptional,’ meaning they are smart and also have unique brain wiring that makes accessing those smarts at times challenging. As she researched and found solutions for them, she started to share the learning with families in her private practice near Seattle. You may know that in the Seattle area, they have many highly skilled, uniquely wired people working for nearby high-tech companies (i.e. Amazon, Microsoft).

"I don't know anyone with ADHD who doesn't have trouble with sleep," says Guest Expert Dr. Roberto Olivardia, kicking things right into gear for this week’s podcast. Along with eating and general impulsivity, sleep is a top complaint Olivardia hears from parents of the kids he works with.
It’s important to know that it’s not kids being difficult that causes the problems. Research shows that, for many with ADHD, their circadian rhythm can actually be offset, which makes it hard to fall asleep.
Roberto Olivardia, Ph.D., is a Clinical Psychologist and Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He maintains a private psychotherapy practice in Lexington, Massachusetts, where he specializes in the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and in the treatment of eating disorders in boys and men. He has spoken on numerous podcasts and webinars and presents at many talks and conferences around the country. He currently sits on the Professional Advisory Boards for Children and Adults with ADHD (CHADD) and the Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA). He also serves on the Scientific Advisory Board for ADDitude and is a Featured Expert for Understood.

One of the most basic beliefs we carry about ourselves has to do with how we view our personality. You may have heard your child say something along the lines of, “Oh, I’m just not a math person,” or, “Organization isn’t my thing.” You may even recognize these types of attitudes in yourself. This is what’s known as a “fixed mindset,” a concept that originated in the book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck.
Dr. Maggie Wray is an ICF-certified Academic Life Coach and ADHD coach, with a Ph.D. in Neurobiology and Behavior from Cornell and a Bachelor’s in Astrophysics from Princeton. She is passionate about helping students develop the skills they need to be successful in life, and believes that many of the skills that are most essential to students’ long-term life success are not being taught in school. In 2012, she founded Creating Positive Futures to help students develop the executive functioning skills, mindset, and study skills they need to excel in school but are often not learning in the classroom. Her unique coaching programs combine research-based strategies about neurobiology and the psychology of learning with the lessons she learned as a student at two Ivy League universities and her experiences teaching and coaching hundreds of teens over the past 10 years.

On the show, we'll dive into the themes and issues we notice in our coaching practice with parents from all over the world. We’ll interview experts who share their wisdom on raising complex kids; help you figure out how to implement strategies, so you can parent from a position of confidence; and we’ll even do a little on-air coaching to help you with problem-solving.
Join us every week and learn how to be the parent your kid needs you to be. We won't tell you WHAT to do, we'll help you figure out HOW to do it -- so you can enjoy the ride of raising complex kids, one conversation at a time.
