Dear algorhythm, please connect me with other parents with ADHD who have neurodivergent kids and are gripping onto their sanity by their fingernails.

Please also tell me how to spell algorhythm.

Being an ADHD business owner is tough!
Yesterday afternoon, I realised that my next in-person workshop was this Wednesday, and I hadn't started promoting it yet. 20 minutes ago I realised Wednesday was in fact tomorrow...
If you live in Cambridgeshire and have an ADHD child message me!

picture of a woman talking to someone on her laptop in the background. She is smiling and wearing a leopard print top.

In the foreground are the following 3 questions:

Am I making a rod for my own back?

Are we being to strict/soft?

Are we spoiling them?

Are we spoiling them? πŸ€”
Is my parenting causing this?
Should there be a consequence?

If you feel lost in conflicting advice you’re not alone.

You’re not doing it wrong. Y

ou just need an approach that works for your brain and your child’s brain.

It’s about real support that lasts.

Let’s make it easier.

Mums, why not share this so the dads actually see it? (😜)

Mums in neurodivergent families don’t want a nice gesture for one day. They want things to be easier every day.

And you can actually give her that. πŸ‘‡

⚠️Dads, listen up.⚠️

Mother’s Day is tomorrow. You could go for flowers, breakfast in bed, or a last-minute card from the kids… but let’s be honest, that’s not what she really wants.

Thought I'd write a novel during maternity leave.. instead, almost had a nervous breakdown! 🀣

🀯There's no magical 'maternal instinct' that fixes ADHD traits, especially RAGE.

Turns out ADHD parenting needs its own playbook.

Now I coach ADHD parents. Want support? Comment "thrive" x

For many, school isn’t just hard - it’s traumatic.

If your child has comes home exhausted, anxious, or angry, I want you to know that it’s not your fault, and you’re not alone.

I'm sick of hearing that ADHD is a trend.

As a parent with ADHD, I sometimes make light of the things I struggle with. I sometimes take the piss out of myself. Do not be fooled. This is part of my mask.

What's behind yours?
