Parenting That Kid with Ashleigh Tolliver

Can’t you just sit still !?!

How many times has your child heard this?

This episode shares a must-have tool for those kids who are in need of movement to support their focus and concentration without creating a ruckus in the classroom. I speak to a mom, Jodi Whalen, who took her child’s need for ‘extra support’ and turned it into a practical must-have tool for kids both in school and at home.

About Me:

Hi, I’m Ashleigh Tolliver, and this podcast is a road map to Parenting That Kid. As a mother to a highly sensitive little boy, 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 a highly emotional, sometimes out of control child, and 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

Author of The Thirteen-Hour Life Coach, Simon Arnold and I speak about his experience as an adult with ADHD, and the coping mechanism he leaned into as a child and beyond.

In this episode you are going to learn tools for your children to take into the classroom setting, and hear an individual's experience living with ADHD unmedicated, and medicated.

Guest Bio

Simon Arnold

I am the author of The Thirteen-Hour Life Coach, a detailed biography of living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and having to design my own success strategies because no help was available. I found the strategies to be so useful, I was finding my life was getting better and better. I had to share my new found strategies with everyone. So I launched a podcast of the same name.

In The Thirteen-Hour Life Coach Podcast, I talk with guests about a topic to help people with ADHD (and those that think they have it) to live an amazing life. I am currently on the forth season and already have guests lined up for season five. I have found that as I use my own strategies and learn from my guests, I am constantly refining these ADHD skills, which is now categoried as HFADHD (High Functioning ADHD).

A second book is currently being written, I am fluent in both German and English and believe people with ADHD can really change themselves and their world for the better.

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.

You have probably heard of the three most noted forms of ADHD

● Inattentive type

● Hyperactive-impulsive type

● Combination type

BUT did you know there are actually seven different types of ADD/ADHD?

In this episode, I speak with Annie Bush, a nationally-recognized Certified Brain Health Coach. Annie shares about the seven different types of ADD/ADHD and how understanding an individual's genetic makeup can provide personalized support for optimal brain health.

Guest Bio:

After spending over 10 years as a Federal and State Prosecutor, Annie Bush changed her focus to health and wellness education, and connecting the physical body with the spiritual mind. Over the last decade, her mantra has been, “It’s hard to have a clear thought with a toxic body.” As a nationally-recognized Certified Brain Health Coach under both Dr. Daniel Amen and Dr. Dale Bredesen, she helps clear the physical brain of cognitive conditions such as ADD/ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Dementia, and customizes holistic protocols addressing these conditions. Using 3X4 Genetics, she utilizes your own DNA as your health blueprint to drive your lifestyle choices regarding exercise, nutrition, and sleep for your optimal health. She uses photobiomodulation to stimulate the production of your own stem cells, including brain cells, using the Lifewave stem cell activation patches.
