Growing Wildflowers, my coaching philosophy: 

Parenting a child with ADHD can be intense, but with the right tools and mindset, it can be fun and deeply rewarding. My coaching philosophy is grounded in compassion, flexibility, and understanding — with a focus on helping parents build practical strategies that work for their unique family.

​

I often think of parenting ADHD kids like growing wildflowers. These children aren’t meant to be cultivated in neat little rows with perfect spacing and tidy blooms. Instead, they thrive when given the right conditions — space to stretch, a little extra patience, and an environment that honors their natural strengths.

​

My approach is influenced by some of the most thoughtful and empowering parenting resources available. Books like Good Inside by Dr. Becky Kennedy and How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis have shaped my belief that compassion — for both yourself and your child — is key to building a calmer, more connected home. Cindy Goldrich’s 8 Keys to Parenting Kids with ADHD has guided my focus on practical, strength-based strategies that support ADHD kids in thriving as they are.

 

Ross Greene’s The Explosive Child reinforces the power of collaboration over control, while How Not to Murder Your ADHD Child offers a refreshingly honest look at ADHD parenting with humor and grace. And from Buddhism for Mothers by Sarah Napthali, I’ve learned the value of mindfulness, presence, and staying grounded during even the most chaotic parenting moments. These influences have helped me develop a coaching style that’s supportive and encouraging — focused on helping parents shift away from power struggles and toward connection, collaboration, and confidence.

​

Just like wildflowers thrive with a mix of sunlight, soil, and room to grow, ADHD kids flourish when given both freedom and structure. Together, we’ll focus on building systems and routines that reduce stress, increase cooperation, and allow your child’s unique strengths to shine. With the right support, you can nurture your wildflower — not by forcing them into a mold, but by giving them the conditions they need to bloom in their own beautiful way.
