💭 Have you ever wrestled with this question…

“Do I tell my child about their ADHD, DMDD, or emotional struggles? And if I do, when… and how?”

It can feel like such a tug of war. On one side, you want to protect your child’s confidence, hoping that not knowing might keep life a little lighter.

On the other side, you wonder if knowing might actually set them free—free to understand themselves, free to advocate for what they need, and free to see that they aren’t broken, just uniquely wired.

I’ve been there too. In fact, I’ll never forget the day my son said, “I’m ready to tell the world I have ADHD.” That moment showed me the incredible power of walking our kids through these conversations little by little.

Over time, they can move from confusion or shame… to acceptance and even pride in who they are.

In this week’s episode of the Calm Connection Parenting Podcast, I’m sharing:

✨ Why these conversations matter more than we often realize
✨ The signals that may tell you your child is ready for more understanding
✨ Practical ways to share without overwhelming them
✨ And the hope that comes when kids learn to see their wiring as part of their strength

You don’t need a perfect script. You don’t need to get it all right the first time.

What matters most is your willingness to start planting seeds—seeds of understanding, compassion, and confidence that will grow with your child.

The Newest Episode! 🎉

💭 I still remember the day we found out our second oldest needed glasses.

It wasn’t a big deal medically… yet I felt this wave of emotion hit me. Sadness, guilt, even worry. I wanted to cry. It was like a piece of me had just realized something about him “didn’t work,” and it felt heavy on my mom heart.

Looking back now, it almost feels silly to have cried over glasses—especially when I think about the bigger roads we’ve walked. One of our children has been through two skull surgeries, with an incision from ear to ear. And we’ve faced the long, hard journey of child mental health diagnoses. Compared to that, glasses seem like nothing.

But here’s what I learned in that moment… even the smallest diagnoses, the tiniest pieces of news, can stir up huge emotions in us as parents. When something about our child changes, or we realize they’ll need help in a new way, our hearts can’t help but respond. And that’s okay.

This week on the Calm Connection Parenting Podcast, I’m talking about those emotions parents feel when they first hear their child’s diagnosis. Why it’s so important to process your own feelings first. And how finding peace in your heart allows you to guide your child with confidence instead of fear.

✨ In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why naming your emotions is the first step toward healing

• Simple ways to process those big emotions in healthy ways

• How your calm confidence impacts your child’s identity and acceptance

• A powerful reminder about looking forward instead of getting stuck in guilt

👉 I’d love to hear from you—do you remember how you felt the first time you heard your child’s diagnosis, big or small? What emotions surprised you the most?

🎉New Podcast Episode!

Back-to-school can bring excitement... but it can also bring stress, especially if your child has ADHD, anxiety, or big emotions.

Early mornings, new routines, and unexpected changes can leave both kids and parents feeling overwhelmed. In this week’s episode, we’ll talk about why transitions can be so challenging for ADHD and emotionally dysregulated kids... and what you can do to make the shift smoother and more peaceful for everyone.

I’ll share three simple but powerful strategies to help you start the school year on the right foot... from easing into routines before the first day, to creating meaningful connection moments like my favorite “back-to-school date” tradition, to partnering with the school so your child feels supported.

You’ll also get encouragement to see your child’s unique wiring as a strength... and to step into the year with calm, confidence, and connection.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why back-to-school transitions can trigger overwhelm in ADHD and emotionally intense kids

• One small change you can make this week to ease morning stress

• How a simple back-to-school tradition can spark deeper conversations with your child

• The key to building a strong partnership with your child’s teacher from day one

What if you didn’t get tomorrow?

Would your kids know how deeply they’re loved?
Would your legacy reflect what matters most?

This past month has shaken me in ways I didn’t expect. A sudden health scare. The heartbreaking loss of someone so dear. And a deep, personal reflection on the legacy I want to leave behind...not just in life, but in parenting.

My dear brother-in-law, Troy, lived a life full of love, presence, and joy. He didn’t just talk about his love; he showed it in spontaneous cheeseburgers, youth group meals, and quiet, consistent generosity and care.

This episode isn’t just a tribute to him. It’s a challenge to us.

* To stop waiting for “someday.”
* To speak what matters.
* To make those changes and decisions.
* To live and love on purpose…especially as parents.

Trying Everything....And Nothing Seems to Be Working?

Reward charts?
Deep breathing?
Calm voice, clear consequences, positive reinforcement?

You’ve tried everything… and your child is still melting down, shutting down, or spiraling.

Friend, it’s not that you’re not trying hard enough.

It’s that your child needs something different.

🎧 In this recent episode, I shared what helped me shift from constant trial-and-error to tools that finally worked with our emotionally intense child.

If you’re tired of trying so hard and still getting nowhere… this one’s for you.

What if the answer to calming your child’s overwhelmed nervous system... wasn’t in a book, a timeout, or another parenting strategy—but in a tiny movement most people overlook?

This week on the Calm Connection Parenting Podcast, I visit with Alma Galvan, a mom of two neurodiverse children who used small movements to heal her brain after a traumatic injury. And what helped her recover? I can’t wait for you to hear what she did to heal her brain.

She is helping kids calm, regulate, and reconnect with these very same tools...especially those with emotional intensity and sensory struggles.

💛 It’s practical. It’s powerful. And it just might be the gentle shift your family needs.

🐈‍⬛What if a pet could be more than just a companion for your child? 💕

For children with heightened emotions or emotional dysregulation, pets can be a lifeline—offering more than just cuddles but playing a crucial role in helping them navigate the emotional ups and downs of everyday life.

In our recent episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal story about Sparkles, the cat who was not just a pet, but an emotional support animal for one of our children. Together, we’ll explore the profound impact that emotional support animals can have on children’s well-being and how they can help soothe the storms of their intense emotions.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The Role of Emotional Support Animals (ESAs): How pets, especially for emotionally intense children, can provide emotional grounding and regulation when no one else can.

• The Unbreakable Bond Between Pets and Children: The deep connection that can form between a child and their pet, and how this bond supports emotional growth.

• The Science Behind Emotional Healing: How interacting with animals can help reduce stress and anxiety while boosting overall emotional well-being.

• Supporting Grief and Loss: What to do when a child experiences the loss of a pet who has been an emotional anchor, and how to help them process their grief.

• The Benefits Beyond Cuddles: Why having an emotional support animal might be more critical for highly sensitive children than you think, and the life-changing support they offer.
