  • Executive Functions and how they are implicated in ADHD and the impact on learning
  • Emotional regulation is a defining feature of ADHD and self-regulation
  • Understanding behaviour and management interventions including rewards, behaviour modification tools and consequences.
  • Understand the benefits to the child when collaborating with other adults to support learning and wellbeing including schools and community supports.
  • Importance of family unity and its impact on self-esteem and positive self-care.

Course goals and objectives

  • To inform and empower parents to work together with their child to cope with the  many difficulties of ADHD by passing on practical, workable strategies that will make a difference in the lives of all family members.
  • To foster solidarity and support amongst the participants whereby they share and discuss their parenting experiences. This in turn can lead to lasting friendships, which offer parents the hope of ongoing support on their parenting journey.
  • Learn within an environment conducive to the engagement of parents through non-judgment, empathy and acceptance is a priority. Plenty of time will be allowed to discuss the home practice exercises to encourage parents to support each other in putting these ideas into practice and celebrate their successes.

Reviews

Understanding my girl’s emotions and how to comfort and support her. Understanding and interactions with her and understanding where she is coming from.

Being patient and more understanding and that it is okay to take a step back. It’s not about being the “perfect” parent it’s about the “trying” parent. Using different wording instead of trying to figure out what to say/do. Using a different space for rest time instead of a punishment. Just be there for them when they need you. Great course, so many different challenges and really helpful. Plus the ladies are awesome.

I gained a better understanding of the less well known aspects of ADHD in children. It was fabulous to learn about some strategies to use in managing and planning executive functioning difficulties. It was also empowering to recognise some of the strategies we already have in effect at home.
