About this listen

Parenting a boy with ADHD can feel like you're constantly putting out fires—while juggling school emails, emotional meltdowns, and the wild energy of a child who’s brilliant… but totally exhausting. You’re trying your best. But some days? It still feels like you're failing. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Do these sound familiar? Your son bounces between 10 things in 30 seconds—and listening seems optional. Emotional outbursts derail even the simplest plans. School feels like a daily battlefield. Routines fall apart the moment you get them started. You feel like you’re parenting in survival mode—with no manual in sight.

Traditional parenting advice often misses the mark for kids with ADHD—especially boys who process the world through high energy, impulsive curiosity, and nonstop movement. That’s why this book was written by a mom who’s lived it.

How to Parent Boys With ADHD Without Losing Your Cool is your go-to guide for 30-minute strategies that actually work in real life—no superhero cape required.

What you’ll discover inside:

  • Focus Without Frustration: Help your son improve attention and emotional control—without overcomplicating everything.
  • Turn Chaos Into Confidence: Channel hyperactivity into creativity, curiosity, and courage.
  • School Struggles? Conquered: Navigate teachers, IEPs, and homework battles with calm clarity.
  • Meltdown Management: Practical tools for calming his storm—and yours—before it escalates.
  • Build Routines That Stick: Create structure that works even when life feels anything but predictable.
  • Connection Over Control: Learn how to bond, set boundaries, and parent without constant conflict.

Backed by real-life experience and modern ADHD insights, this guide doesn’t just help you parent better—it helps you feel seen, supported, and empowered.
