When your child says “no” to everything you ask them to do, it’s easy to take it personally.

It can feel like defiance.

Like they’re pushing back on everything you say.

But most of the time, that “no” isn’t intentional.

It’s coming from how their brain processes transitions, effort, stress, and control.

Understanding this doesn't make the knee-jerk "no" reactions go away, but it does help you as the parent respond with a bit more compassion and understanding.

Save this as a reminder the next time your child says NO to something you've asked them to do!

There’s no shortage of ADHD parenting books.

But there is a shortage of ones that actually help parents move forward.

The best books don’t just give you more tools.

They help you understand your child on a deeper level and give you a clear path to follow. So don't buy another ADHD book unless it does this...

1 - It Explains the Why Behind Symptoms

The best ADHD books help you understand why symptoms are happening in the first place, not just how to handle them once they're there.

2 - It Gives Step-by-Step Guidance

Parents don’t just need information (they already have plenty of that!). Like this post if you agree! ❤️

Instead, they need a clear plan with focused, manageable steps that actually move things forward.

3 - It Includes Practical, Real-Life Implementation

Even the best advice won’t help if it’s not realistic.

4 - It Addresses the Biology Behind ADHD

This is where many books fall short. A truly impactful ADHD parenting book looks beyond behavior and considers what’s happening inside the body, including nutrition and food choices, gut health, key nutrients needed for brain function, and other biological stressors.

5 - It Actually Works

Ultimately, the best ADHD parenting books are the ones that create real change in everyday life, not just in theory.

At the end of the day, parents aren’t just looking for information. They’re looking for something that actually works.

What if the problem isn’t your child’s behavior…but their brain running on empty?

Picky eating, impulsivity, and explosive reactions....

Most parents are told these are separate problems.

But often they’re connected.

Because a brain that’s under-fuelled struggles with focus, patience, and emotional control.

A hungry brain can’t be polite. A depleted brain can’t regulate.

So let's stop asking, “Why won’t they behave?” and start asking, “What might their brain be missing?” 🧠

EMFs and your child’s brain…not something most parents are even told to think about.

But our kids are surrounded by it all day — phones, WiFi, tablets, devices — and it raises some important questions about how EMFs (electromagnetic fields) are affecting our children.

Think it’s impossible to support a child with ADHD without meds? Think natural remedies won’t ever work?

I used to think that too. They told me medication was the only option.

But now I know...They were wrong.

I have learned how to effectively support a child with ADHD using 100% natural strategies, and I've used these strategies to not only help my own son (who is now medication-free and thriving in high school) but also 1600 other families!

Years ago, when I was trying to help my son with ADHD, I felt so alone. I wasted hours of time and thousands of dollars trying to find something - anything - that might actually make a difference for our family.

I don’t want anyone else to waste that much time or money.

That’s why I wrote a book, detailing the steps I took with my own son to support him naturally (and the steps I have helped over 1600 other families take with their children as well)!

It’s called Thriving with ADHD: A Guide to Naturally Reducing ADHD Symptoms in Your Child.

And for a limited time, you can grab a copy for only $5!

🎊🎉🎉 LIMITED TIME OFFER - Only $5 for my best-selling book! 🎊🎉🎉

Years ago, I wanted a book that would clearly spell out exactly what I needed to do to support my son with ADHD naturally.

😞 But I couldn’t ever find it. 😞

Can you relate to that desperate search for answers?

That constant googling for something - anything - that might actually help you get some relief from the challenging ADHD behaviors?

When I was looking for that book, I struck out.

Over and over again.

There was no book out there that gave me the information I needed in a way that I could understand and implement effectively.

Novelist Toni Morrison once said that “if you find a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”

So that’s what I did in my book, Thriving with ADHD: A Guide to Naturally Reducing ADHD Symptoms in Your Child.

And for a limited time, you can get it for only $5!

This book is the guide I needed years ago but couldn’t find.

I have seen the steps I outlined in the book work for over 1600 other families of children with ADHD, plus my own son.

AND…

For a limited time, the book is ONLY $5 🎊🎉🎉

Grab it NOW before the price goes up!

You’ve read the books, so why is nothing actually improving with your ADHD child?

If you’re ready for a different approach (one that goes deeper than surface-level strategies), I’ve made my book available for just $5 for a limited time.

Most ADHD parenting books aren’t wrong.

They’re just incomplete.

They focus on managing behavior without looking at what’s driving it underneath.

So parents follow the strategies, stay consistent, do everything “right”…

and still feel stuck.

Behavior is only the surface. It's a clue about what's going on beneath.

Before you blame ADHD, consider the gut.

The gut is a chemical factory. It produces neurotransmitters, trains the immune system, and communicates with the brain all day long.

So when that environment is inflamed or out of balance, the brain receives different instructions. And that doesn’t always show up as stomach pain.

Sometimes, it shows up as increased ADHD symptoms.

We see this pattern on labs all the time: kids with “normal digestion” but high inflammation, skewed bacteria, hidden infections, or mold exposure.

That’s gut-brain communication under strain.

If this is making sense, tap like or share so other parents of kids with ADHD understand the gut-brain connection.

“Is it just me, or does ADHD feel worse right now?”

I hear this all the time from parents. They tell me that their child’s ADHD symptoms are worse now than they used to be.

And it leaves you wondering…

Is something changing in our kids, or is it the world around them?

In this episode of The Soaring Child Podcast with special guest Logan McIlwain we talk about what it means to raise kids with ADHD in today’s digital world, how all that constant input is impacting their symptoms, and what parents can do to support them.

We tend to lump all screen time together, but different types of screen time affect the ADHD brain very differently.

Here are 3 important distinctions to understand:

1️⃣ Interactive vs. Passive

Interactive (video games, apps, creative tools)

→ highly engaging, but also highly stimulating and harder to stop

Passive (YouTube, shows, scrolling)

→ may seem “calm” but fast-paced content can still overstimulate attention

2️⃣ Gaming vs. Social Media

Gaming

→ instant rewards, clear goals, constant feedback

Social media

→ comparison, emotional intensity, endless scrolling

Both are stimulating (just in different ways).

3️⃣ Educational vs. Fast-Paced

Slower, guided content

→ very different nervous system response

Fast-paced, rapid-fire content

→ can make it harder to shift back to homework, chores, or bedtime

So the better question isn’t: “How much screen time is too much?”

It’s: What kind of screen time is this… and what happens after it ends?

Tell me in the comments: which type does your child gravitate toward most? 👇

I didn’t recognize myself anymore.

I was exhausted… angry all the time… walking on eggshells around my own child.

The worst part was that I felt like no one got it. The meds weren’t helping. The strategies I was told to try weren’t working. And all anyone could say was, “ADHD is just hard.”

But deep down, I knew there had to be more to the story.

And I was right.

Everything shifted when I stopped trying to “fix” my child’s behavior… and started supporting his body instead.

No, it wasn’t a magic overnight fix.

But slowly (through the right steps, the right strategies, and the right support), I got my son back. And I got me back too.

ON TUESDAY, I’m going live to share the exact 3-step approach that changed our lives...so you don’t have to feel stuck, alone, or ashamed anymore.
