Supplementary notes
Let me explain further some of the ideas that I mentioned in this video. While charts may work for some children, even some ADHD children, they may not work long-term. The ADHD child needs instant gratification; a small reward every day for a certain time period. Due to their poor working memory, they may forget to fill in the chart, and may start to negotiate (argue) with you. If you have ADHD, your working memory may impact your ability to stay focused on the chart idea for long periods of time. Two weeks, is often too long for the ADHD child.
Many experts encourage do using charts to assist with bedtime routines. This never worked for me since I always had to be the one who stayed focused on how many days were crossed off, and this was an almost impossible job with my poor working memory. I waited until my son was old enough to take ownership of his own charts, and then he could cross the days off himself...This sometimes worked, and often didn't work...
Regarding my son brushing his teeth with no toothpaste, I strictly limit my son's daily sweet intake. has no holes so toothpaste isn't necessary, maybe also mention that its because you limit his sweet intake.
PS. If you, like me, hate charts, who says you need to create charts? You are the perfect mother for your child. Your know what you need to do. Asking for help, and following guidance has its place. However, if the advice doesn't feel right to you, it probably isn't right for you. It is time that you started to follow your intuition. It is time to take back your authority.

ADHD Mums – Being a mum is hard. Being a mum of an ADHD child is much harder. You did not cause your child’s ADHD. Unfortunately, you can make the ADHD symptoms worse, through ignorance of the root causes of your ADHD child’s difficulties. If you have an ADHD child you have probably realised that the regular parenting strategies simply do not work for your ADHD child. In fact, they often backfire, making the situation worse.
WHY LEARN FROM ME?
I have ADHD — and I’m also the proud mum of five ADHD children and a young grandma of five amazing grandkids!
I’ve lived through every stage of ADHD life: growing up with it, parenting through it, and running two successful businesses while managing a busy household.
Every day, I navigate the same internal and external challenges that so many ADHDers face:
Feeling like my achievements are never quite enough
Struggling with consistency and follow-through
Swinging between being super-focused or giving up fast
Carrying deep shame, guilt, or overwhelm
Hobbies and interests that change overnight
A messy phone or computer full of “to-sort-later” files
Complex family dynamics that drain energy
Periods of depression or anxiety
Piles of stuff everywhere
And that never-ending fight with time management
I don’t just teach ADHD strategies — I live them. Everything I share comes from real-life experience, not theory. I’ve learned what actually works, what doesn’t, and how to build a life that fits the ADHD brain — not the other way around.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Clear and concise ADHD skills to improve your ADHD child’s mental health
Essential knowledge and skills to successfully parent your ADHD child
How you can support your child and bring out the best in them
Focus and clarity.
ADHD mums with ADHD children constantly live with the intense daily pressure of feeling they need to excel and constantly expecting to fail. They are tormented every day and live with crippling shame, intense guilt and anxiety. They constantly feel frazzled and unable to explain why their dumb ADHD brain that won’t focus, to those who need to know. It’s totally draining.
WHY I CREATED THIS COURSE
There is very little information regarding the Social Science behind ADHD. There is even less information on the nitty gritty, feet on the ground, how to live your life, moment to moment, with ADHD. There is almost no information about why the recommended ADHD skills work. My courses and ADHD resources fill this huge void.
As a Professional Organiser and ADHD Coach, I saw the huge changes that my clients created, and maintained, not just for one day, but for years. I realised that the simple ADHD truths and tools that I shared with my clients were actually profound wisdom.
I’ve invested years of my life to fill this gap so that ADHD mums like me could finally stop suffering and start creating the life they had only dreamt of.
