Parenting a Child with ADHD: It’s a Journey, Not a Battle

Parenting a child with ADHD isn’t a straight path—it’s more like a winding, beautiful, exhausting, heart-expanding hike through the wilderness. One day you’re cheering them on as they conquer something huge, and the next you’re crying in the bathroom because socks were "too bumpy" again and no one got out the door on time.

If you're here, it probably means you're tired, doing your best, and just want to feel like someone gets it. I see you. Truly.

Your Child Isn’t Broken

Let’s say this together: Your child is not broken.

They’re not defiant on purpose. They’re not lazy. They’re not bad.

They are learning how their incredible brain works—and they need your help, patience, and grace while they figure that out. (And you deserve grace too, by the way.)

What Parenting an ADHD Child Actually Looks Like

It looks like messy mornings and second-guessing everything. It looks like reminding them for the third time to put on shoes and still ending up late and often without the shoes. It looks like advocating at school while also wondering if you said too much.

It looks like:

• Holding space when they can’t regulate their emotions
• Googling "ADHD and toothpaste battles" at 11PM
• Quietly wondering if you’re failing

You’re not. You’re parenting a child whose brain plays by different rules. And that takes courage. (and that deserves a standing ovation.)
