Ask an ADHD Coach: For those with children with ADHD - March 2026

 ONLINE


Raising a child with ADHD comes with unique hurdles, especially in the primary and intermediate years. Research shows that when parents have the right support and strategies, the whole family thrives.

An ADHD coach helps you look past the 'behaviour' to understand how your child's brain works, helping you find practical ways to make daily life a little smoother.

Join Tracey Rountree, presenter of our Every Day with ADHD parenting courses, for an interactive session where you can discuss the challenges of raising children with ADHD. 

What to expect

In this one-hour Ask an ADHD Coach session, we create a supportive space to discuss the specific spots where you feel stuck. Whether it’s a recurring power struggle or a new challenge, we can explore how to:

  • Identify the 'Why': Look at the executive function gaps behind the challenges your child is facing.
  • Shift Perspectives: Move towards a strengths-based approach to encourage your child’s growth.
  • Find a Way Forward: Brainstorm small, manageable, shifts to support your child and the rest of the family.
     

This is an interactive group session. You’ll have the opportunity to hear from other families, share stories, and get professional coaching input on your burning questions.

Topics to think about

  • Where are we stuck? What is the one thing that feels hardest right now?.
  • What’s working? Where are your child’s hidden strengths?
  • What’s next? What is one small change that could help the whole family? 
     

Bring yourself and your questions to our next group session.

Where: Online via Zoom

Date and time: 26 March 2026, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
