Join us as we delve into the world of parenting with ADHD & Dyslexia, in "Parenting with ADHD, a mother's journey with Kristin Chadwick".

In this episode, we explore the lived experience of Kristin Chadwick, a mother of four, who shares her unique journey of raising neurodivergent children while also navigating her own ADHD.

This podcast offers practical advice, heartfelt stories and real life examples to inspire other parents who are dealing with similar challenges.

This episode offers an intimate look into Kristin’s experiences as she reveals the "colorful" dynamics of her family, which includes a child with dyslexia, two children with ADHD, and her own ADHD diagnosis.

Kristin speaks beautifully about the balancing act of parenting, including the challenges of understanding and meeting the individual needs of her children.

She discusses the importance of recognising that each child is unique in how they respond to discipline, and how she has worked to ensure that this doesn't "crush their spirit".

Kristin shares how she found her own unique voice and embraces her own "quirky" way of being which has enabled her to not only support her children but also to create a successful podcast production business where she helps others to share their unique voices.

You will hear about how she went from being the "behind the scenes girl" to stepping into her own power, and the journey she undertook to use her voice. You will also hear how this transformation was facilitated by mentors who encouraged her to be comfortable with who she was.

This podcast also highlights the importance of "empathy" and connection within the family unit and how creating an environment where each member feels "seen, heard and known" can lead to a deeper sense of love and understanding within the family unit.

Listeners will gain an understanding of the "gifts" that neurodivergence can bring to a family, including humour, creativity and compassion, as Kristin describes the "emerisms" that bring laughter to her family. She also shares the techniques she used to overcome the challenges she faced growing up and in higher education

This episode offers insights, practical strategies, and a heartfelt perspective for anyone navigating the complexities of parenting neurodivergent children. You will come away feeling inspired and empowered to embrace the unique journey of your own family.
