Parenting a child with ADHD can feel like an unpredictable rollercoaster—one moment they're hyper-focused, the next they're completely distracted. In this episode, we explore the science behind attention, focus, and emotional regulation through the lens of functional neurology and nutrition. We’ll break down the concepts of phase shift and phase lock, uncover how the brain processes focus, and share practical strategies to help children thrive at home and in school.

We also discuss how understanding your child’s unique brain function, personality, and even love language can transform frustration into connection. Plus, we’re excited to introduce our upcoming program designed to empower parents with the tools they need to support their children from ages 6 to 18. If you’re looking for ways to bring more clarity, peace, and structure into your home, this episode is for you!
