Parenting a child with ADHD

03/23/24 • 22 min

In honour of Neurodiversity Celebration week, this week's episode follows the parenting journey of Parenting Coach, Layal Aoudi and her son who is diagnosed with ADHD.
About Layal
My journey began with a minor in child psychology due to my passion with children, which laid the foundation of understanding the child’s brain and then resulted in obtaining my master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis.
I realized I also wanted to collaborate with parents. Supporting parents was important for me to ensure they have the knowledge and tools to provide their children with the comprehensive care they need when they don’t have professional support available. I started following parent coaches until I came across an institute that certified people with exactly what I was looking for and more. As I was studying and learning this different approach, I realized it was changing my personal parenting style with my own children to a healthier and closer parent-child relationship, and that is when I realized I wanted to share the skills and knowledge with the world. I became a certified parent coach to foster a supportive environment for both the child and parent through “care to repair parenting”.
