b'Today I\\u2019m covering a topic that was suggested by a listener and, as soon as I read her email, I was like, Yes! And also, I can\\u2019t believe we haven\\u2019t done an episode on this yet!\\nSo\\u2026 today we\\u2019re going to be talking about being a parent with ADHD who is parenting neurodivergent children. Because I know there are endless parenting responsibilities that rely heavily on having solid executive function skills or balancing an inordinate amount of demands and emotional labor, and I know that these same requirements are likely not super strengths for a parent with ADHD.\\nThis is where my guest today, Elaine Taylor-Klaus, found herself \\u2014 stressed, overwhelmed, and struggling as a mom to three complex kids. When she initially shared with a psychiatrist how badly she was doing and asked if there might be something else going on, she was told, yes, it\\u2019s called being a mom.\\nBut Elaine pushed for answers, finally getting a diagnosis of ADHD when she was in her early 40s. That new identification, and the personal development journey it initiated, changed life for Elaine and her family in the best possible way.\\nThis is such a good conversation today, as we get into the many things parents with ADHD typically struggle with, how parents can best support themselves with the emotional and mental demands of parenting, and of course, we touch upon the many strengths of ADHD that can be leveraged to make a neuromixed family work better. I hope you enjoy it!\\n\\xa0\\nAbout Elaine Taylor-Klaus\\nElaine Taylor-Klaus is a professional certified coach, parenting coach, writer, speaker and mother in an ADHD family of five.
