PAP 064:
What Really Matters When Parenting Kids with ADHD
Our culture defines expectations of our parenting priorities. When we become parents, we latch onto those expectations and adopt them as our own. The problem is, those priorities were created for neurotypical kids and we are raising kids with differences. If our child is different, our parenting should be different too. That means that not everything that matters to our culture really matters for our special brand of parenthood. In this episode of the Parenting ADHD Podcast, I outline what truly matters when raising kids with ADHD (and/or autism).

Loved this episode! Iām starting to learn to let go of many things with my ADHD daughter. I try and ask myself, does this truly matter in the long run? Now if I could only get my husband on board. š
