Episode Description

The executive functioning difficulties that often accompany ADHD can make simple routines and tasks feel harder than they should for many parents and children with the condition. But what if the most effective way to support your child’s executive function development is to strengthen your own skills first?

In this webinar, parents will learn how to shift from a behavior-management mindset to a skills-development framework. We will examine how a parent’s emotional regulation, flexibility, and organization directly shape a child’s ability to develop these same skills. Parents will learn how strengthening their own executive function capacities creates the relational and neurological conditions necessary for their child’s growth.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • How ADHD affects executive functioning in adults and children
  • About the common causes of a meltdown — from transitions, to developing routines, to tasks that challenge emotional regulation — and how to intervene effectively
  • About a practical framework for modeling executive function skills, so children can internalize these through experience
  • About the POWERS principle, Give the Gift to Get the Gift, and its application to daily parenting challenges
  • Strategies to reduce reactivity and power struggles while increasing consistency, connection, and follow-through
  • How to move beyond crisis management and build a more sustainable, skill-based approach to supporting children with ADHD — and reduce parental burnout
