ADHD Essentials, Episode 2!
In this episode, I'm talking with Sam Gardner. Sam is the mother of a daughter with ADHD. (Even better, her daughter is in middle school!) Sam shares the frustration, joy and adventure of being part of a family affected by ADHD. We talk about selfcare, the importance of learning how best to manage your kid with ADHD, and the importance of recognizing growth in yourself and your child.
Thanks for listening! I hope you enjoy it.
As usual, I can be found at ADHDessentials.com.
