How do we support kids with ADHD without burning out or losing connection? This session blends clinical evidence with lived experience to help parents become effective "backbone" leaders: warm, consistent, and grounded. We'll explore how parenting style directly influences emotion regulation, oppositional behavior, and long-term treatment adherence in children with ADHD. Through the lenses of Barkley, Greene, and Coloroso, we’ll move beyond shame, blame, and power struggles—toward skill-building, regulation, and collaboration. Designed for both parents and professionals, this session offers tools you can use right away: calm scripts, reinforcement systems, problem-solving worksheets, and more.
