ADHD: Understanding Your Child Differently

 

 

When nothing seems to work

Parenting a child with ADHD can be exhausting. You may find yourself repeating the same patterns, dealing with emotional outbursts, worrying about school or watching your child struggle with things that seem to come easily to others.

You know how much potential they have. You see their sensitivity, their creativity and the wonderful things about them. But you may also see a child who is struggling, and feel unsure how best to help.

Perhaps everything you've tried just isn't working.

 

 

A different way of understanding ADHD

Teenage Toolbox brings together three approaches: regulation, trauma-responsive understanding and strategy.

 

• Regulation - understanding what happens when your child becomes overwhelmed, and what helps them feel settled enough to cope.

• Trauma-responsive understanding - looking beyond the diagnosis to understand your child's experiences, their needs and what might be making life difficult for them.

• Strategy - finding practical ways to approach the everyday challenges that work for your child and your family.

 

 

Finding a way forward

You don't have to have all the answers. And you don't have to keep trying the same things and hoping something will change. We offer a unique, holistic series of one-on-one sessions online or in person to help create realistic change.

 

 

Why work with us?

A trauma-responsive framework around ADHD brings a unique approach to safety and regulation for a child.

Its foundation sits in understanding how differently we all operate in the world, and the conditions we need to thrive.

​

Once we discover the formula, it's as simple as suddenly understanding a maths equation and being able to apply it when needed. The solving of the problem is never the solution - the understanding of the formula is key!

 

We are in the fortunate position to have studied and worked with behaviour, and understand the conditions in which ADHD can thrive. Our trauma-informed work is about helping parents make sense of their child, see things differently and find a way forward that feels right for their family.
