The Functional Family story
I knew my eldest son had ADHD from very early on. My husband has severe ADHD and we knew what to look for. I wanted to help him and our family, and what followed was 10 years of research and trialling everything I could to help my little boy.
We did everything, occupational therapy, speech therapy, GAPS Diet, RPA Diet, Paleo Diet, Integrative Paediatricians, Developmental Paediatricians, Child Psychologists, cutting out all colours and preservatives, behavioural therapy and then different medications.
Everything helped to a certain degree but our homelife was exhausting! I began developing systems and routines to try and make my home life easier. I noticed that the more routined and organised our family became the calmer our ADHD family members would behave.
I've learned that by working with your child's strengths and creating easy to understand systems you can improve how your family functions.
You'll get back your time and energy, but most importantly you can now create space for the good stuff!

"Sharon is one of the greatest mothers I know and I am so happy she's put this course together. Sharon has totally mastered calming the chaos and taking the tornado of life and restoring the joy. She has so many life hacks to make the daily world of a family with ADHD feel organised, productive and fun. I can highly recommend grabbing a piece of that knowledge! "

"The ADHD and Families Online program has made a great impact on our family day to day life, I feel more in control, there are less meltdowns and we are managing to be on time to school for the first time. I would highly recommend the course to any parent whether they have a child with ADHD or not."
