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 listened to my husbands horrific stories of growing up with ADHD and I wanted to change the storyline for my little boy. What followed was 13 years of research and trialling everything available to us.
We did occupational therapy, speech therapy, GAPS Diet, RPA Diet, Paleo Diet, Integrative Paediatricians, Developmental Paediatricians, Child Psychologists, cutting out all colours and preservatives in food, behavioural therapy and then different medications.
Everything helped to a certain degree but our home life was chaotic and exhausting! It was not sustainable.
I began studying and researching ADHD and developed systems and habits to try and make our home life easier. We needed to tailor the environment to work with the ADHD brain.
I now have 3 little boys with diagnosed ADHD. I live it every day just like you. I want you to know that you are not alone and 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!

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."
