E274: How to Support Your ADHD Child: Mothers Together Q&A with Guest Host Megan Champion - Best Of Friends Series

Author: Patricia Sung | ADHD Coach for Moms with ADHD September 18, 2025 Duration: 1:19:17

Have you ever wondered if you're doing enough to support your ADHD child? Or maybe you've questioned if what you're trying is even working. You're not the only one.

When I saw that last year's most downloaded episode was about supporting your ADHD child, I knew I wanted to share this conversation from 2022 with you!

In this episode, I'm sharing a Q&A session from when I was a guest expert in the Mothers Together community, for parents of neurodivergent children. The moms in Megan's community share vulnerable and raw struggles that I know you'll relate to. We dive into some of the most common struggles moms face when raising ADHD kids: school challenges, emotional regulation, should your child try medication (especially when you're worried about them not gaining weight), and that exhausting cycle of wondering, "Am I messing this up?"

You'll hear encouragement, practical strategies, and lots of validation from a real conversation with moms who get it. Because sometimes the most powerful thing isn't a new parenting hack – it's gaining a new perspective or realizing you're not alone and you don't have to figure it all out by yourself.

This episode is a little peek into the kind of support I love to provide as an ADHD educator. I hope it gives you a fresh perspective and a sense of relief that you're doing better than you think.

Ever feel like you're running a marathon with no finish line in sight, while everyone else seems to be on a leisurely stroll? That mental clutter, the constant search for your keys, the guilt over forgotten appointments-it's not a personal failing. It's often the lived experience of motherhood when you're also navigating adult ADHD. Motherhood in ADHD is a space created specifically for that reality. Hosted by Patricia Sung, an ADHD coach who gets it because she lives it, this podcast digs into the intersection of a neurodivergent brain and the demands of raising a family. You'll find conversations that move beyond simple tips, offering brain-based science and practical strategies tailored for moms whose minds work differently. Episodes explore how to structure your days in a way that works with your ADHD, not against it, and rethink parenting approaches to reduce overwhelm for both you and your kids. It’s about education that leads to self-compassion, replacing shame with understanding. Tune in for honest talk about productivity that actually sticks, managing mental health, and building systems that acknowledge your unique wiring. This is more than just a podcast; it’s a companion for redefining what success looks like in your home and in your mind, helping you move from barely coping to truly thriving.
