Parenting a child with ADHD or neurodiversity brings many challenges and stresses, but connecting with other parents going through similar experiences can help you feel less isolated and lonely.

How can you best support both your ADHD child and yourself?

For ADHD Awareness Month, we’re talking to a new ADHD guest expert every week.

Today’s guest is IngerShaye Colzie, MSW, LSW. IngerShaye provides executive ADHD coaching, individualized coaching and group coaching. In private sessions she creates a partnership tailored to your specific needs and goals, providing dedicated support and guidance. Within group sessions, she provides a safe space for black women to gain access to resources while connecting with the ADHD community.

In this episode, IngerShaye and I discuss viewing parenting from the perspective of after your ADHD child reaches young adulthood. She’s sharing her hard-earned wisdom from twenty years of parenting on what truly matters and how we can do our best when we’re in the thick of it.

IngerShaye talks about navigating the balancing act of setting expectations and providing structure, while also giving children autonomy and allowing them to learn from mistakes.

Join us in a much needed conversation about advocating for your child in school and how you can be less hard on yourself as you do your best to take care of your children.

Making memories is just as important as all of the other things we do as parents. Let’s not forget to enjoy the ride, too.
