052 - ADHD in Parents and Kids - With Jo Mitchelhill
Notes
Welcome to "Parenting the Intensity!"
In today's episode, we dive into the complexities of parenting ADHD kids as an ADHD parent with our guest, Jo Mitchelhill. Jo, a coach specializing in ADHD and trauma-informed care, provides valuable insights for parents dealing with this reality.
Together we explore the impact of unresolved childhood experiences on adult emotions, the importance of therapeutic parenting, and the necessity of understanding and addressing triggers and emotions in both parents and children.
Join us as we discuss the fluidity of diagnoses, the significance of setting clear (and supportive) boundaries, and the crucial role of parental expectations in interactions with emotionally intense kids. It's an episode filled with valuable advice, real-life experiences, and practical strategies for navigating the big emotions of parenthood.
"If you scream and shout at your kids, don't be surprised that they're gonna scream and shout back at you. They're just responding to the energy that you put out there."
