Something's going on with your kid. Maybe you have a diagnosis, maybe you don't, but it feels like someone should be able to help you make it all easier. In this episode of Parenting with Impact, Elaine and Diane look back at what they wish they'd known when they started parenting their own neurodivergent kids: how it’s a long game, how you'll end up as the expert in your child, and why it’s so important for relationship to come first. If you're at the start of your ADHD parenting journey (or wish you could start over), hit play—then pass it along to a parent who needs it.


What to expect in this episode:

  • You'll learn why an ADHD diagnosis is the start of a long-term journey, and why setting that expectation early reduces overwhelm.
  • You'll hear why parents have to become the expert in their own child, and how that helps you educate and advocate with schools and providers.
  • You'll see why how you show up (calm or escalating) shapes your child's experience more than any single strategy.
  • You'll get a practical approach to deciding whether and how to tell your child about their diagnosis.
  • You'll learn why kids thrive when parents believe they're going to be okay, and why the relationship is the foundation of everything else.
