I recovered from a nasty bout of food poisoning recently and the only silver lining was convincing the hubby to let me eat the same meal 3xs a day for 2 weeks. A bowl of rice with clear ‘tofu and vegetable’ soup. He was baffled how anyone could be alright to eat the same 3 meals daily. #adhd

Just gave my kid enough supplements to start a health store. Lutein for myopia, fish oil for brain power, probiotics for gut, calcium for bones ... at this rate, they’ll be running marathons and curing colds by next week.
What supplements do your kids take?

ADHD isn’t just hyperactivity—it’s often missed in women & girls because the research focused on boys.
Girls learn to mask their struggles, even fooling doctors. Many are misdiagnosed with anxiety or depression, left feeling overwhelmed & misunderstood. It’s time to do better.

We don’t often give our kid melatonin, but there are some nights where she tosses and turns all night, so melatonin is our best bet for either of us to get some rest.
Do you give your ADHD kid melatonin to help with sleep? If not, what works?

Family game night with ADHD: We start playing Monopoly, halfway through someone’s building a fort with the money, another’s Googling ‘how to win at Monopoly,’ and I’m just trying to remember whose turn it is!

I am always on the look out on how to make bath time fun for my little one. Any suggestions?
I recently bought the dr teals bath time fizzie scented bath bombs. Smells great and fizzes nicely.

My 8-year-old’s stuffed animals were taking over her room like a fluffy army. Solution? A stuffed toy hammock: keeps the room clean, toys happy, and me sane. Who knew hammocks weren’t just for naps? #adhd #parenting #moms

We use a color-coded calendar to help our ADHD child stay organized: green for holidays, orange for travel, white for school days (marked with homework and exam dates). Crossing off each day helps her track time, stay focused, and look forward to holidays!

We are really big on reward stickers. Our kid is nearly 9 and stickers for good behaviour still works like a charm. Have you tired sticker charts with your kids? Did it work?

Convincing my ADHD kid to brush her teeth takes the strategy of a war general and the patience of a saint. Enter: a brushing chart that turns dental hygiene into a video game. Final boss? A toothy dinosaur. We're winning, one sun/moon sticker at a time #routine #hygeine #parenting #AUDHD #ADHD

Checklists are my secret weapon for my daughter with ADHD. She packs her school bag solo, and I no longer get those "Dear Parent, your child forgot..." emails. A win-win! Do checklists work for your kids, or am I just overly optimistic? Let me know!

Turned on the diffuser with lavender oil to help my ADHD kid sleep. Now she’s blowing the mist around, pretending to be a dragon. At least bedtime is interesting. Jokes aside, it works - try it.

Mama: Go to sleep, it’s bedtime.
Kiddo: I’m not tired.
Mama: Fine, but you have to stand. No sitting.
Kiddo: Deal. Grabs a book & Little Rei pillow, stands awkwardly on a chair. See? I’m fine. Totally not tired. blinks slowly.
Mama: sighs, At this point, just let gravity do its thing.

ADHD is realizing you need a reminder to check your reminders… but getting distracted halfway and reorganizing your apps instead.

Why did the person with ADHD go to the kitchen?
To grab a snack… but now they’re reorganizing the spice rack, watering the plants, and wondering why they’re still hungry! #parenting #joke #adhd #adhdparenting #neurodiversity #neurodiverse #audhd

Getting my ADHD kid to do mock exams takes some strategic bribery. Needed earphones for school? I got her Harry Potter-themed ones. (She’s a huge fan). Technically necessary, but now it’s a “reward.” Parenting level: Slytherin. #ADHDParenting #Potterhead #adhd #parenting #adhdmama #Ravenclaw
