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

This course provided an opportunity to spend time reflecting on my parenting and thinking about how I can support my child more.

I now have a better understanding of ADHD and how it affects my child’s development and behaviour and what I can do to help.

Learning about the executive function age was great information. I also leant a lot about how I could communicate better with my children, and why some things that I was doing were not effective at the time.
