Your Host:

Hi, I’m Ashleigh Tolliver, and this podcast is a road map to Parenting That Kid. As a mother of twins with ADHD symptoms, I know what it means to parent a child who does not fit into the ‘box’ modern society has put children into. My mission is to help other parents of “that kid” feel less alone, more confident and more equipped by asking the tough questions to the professionals, gathering tools and resources and connecting with other moms who are wrestling with the same struggles.

If recording my journey as I seek a clear starting point, community and effort to normalize a life with children who are at times highly emotional, unregulated, unfocused, or the opposite- hyper focused, supports at least one parent, then my time is not wasted. And if it doesn’t, well, there’s documented proof that moms deserve a glass of wine.

Cheers
