SUMMARY

Parenting is hard. Full stop. Parenting a child with ADHD adds a layer of nuance that can feel extra exhausting. However, we know that our kids ARE amazing and we just have to recalibrate our perspectives and expectations. Today on the podcast, we interview Rachel Nielson, ADHD parent and popular podcaster about 3 mindset shifts that have deepened her connection with her children.
