Parenting is rarely easy, but parenting a child with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can bring a set of unique challenges. You might find yourself constantly playing ‘catch-up’, repeating instructions ten times, or feeling like every transition, from putting on shoes to turning off the TV, is a battleground.
If you feel like you’re struggling to enjoy the everyday moments with your child because of their diagnosis, you aren't alone. At Priory Hospital Hayes Grove, we offer a dedicated ADHD parenting course designed to help your family understand and connect.
Is it time for an ADHD coaching course?
Many parents think they should be able to handle things on their own. However, ADHD is a neurological difference that often requires more understanding.
Here are 5 common signs that suggest you might benefit from ADHD coaching for parents:
- The instruction gap: You feel like your child ignores you, but in reality, they’ve forgotten the instructions you gave them
- The meltdown cycle: Daily life is punctuated by big emotional outbursts that seem to come out of nowhere and are difficult to de-escalate
- Routine roadblocks: Simple tasks like starting homework, brushing teeth or changing activities lead to procrastination or defiance
- Executive functioning fails: Your child struggles to stay organised, loses belongings constantly, or has no sense of time
- Parental burnout: You feel ‘wired’ and stressed, and the strategies that work for other parents just don't seem to work for your child
Specialist ADHD coaching for parents
Our ADHD coaching for parents provides a supportive space to learn why your child behaves the way they do and how you can respond more effectively. By joining this course, you will:
- Deepen your understanding: Learn what an ADHD diagnosis actually means for your child’s development and daily experience
- Access expert strategies: Gain tools from qualified therapists that are specifically designed for neurodivergent needs
- Connect with others: Meet other parents who truly understand the challenges of raising a child with ADHD, reducing the sense of isolation
Our 6-session online course for families uses evidence-based models that help you stay calm, communicate clearly, and build a home that supports your child’s unique needs.
What you’ll learn
The 6-session course is a remote programme, meaning you can join from the comfort of your own home. You’ll stay with the same group of parents throughout, creating a safe, private community where you can share your experiences without judgement.
Expert guidance from Priory Hospital Hayes Grove
