Tired of yelling, guilt, and meltdowns ruling your household? It’s time for a game-changer. In this episode of Chaos & Caffeine, I’m breaking down the science-backed reasons why positive parenting is the only way to parent a neurodivergent child without completely losing your mind. We’ll dive into ADHD brain chemistry, why dopamine is the key to better behavior, and how praise and positive reinforcement actually rewire your child’s brain for success. Plus, I’ll share my own transformation from triggered to (mostly) tranquil and give you actionable, real-world strategies to stop the chaos and start seeing real change.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:
✔️ Why ADHD kids struggle with traditional discipline
✔️ The neuroscience behind why positive reinforcement works
✔️ Practical ways to regulate yourself before responding to your child
✔️ How to set firm but loving boundaries that actually stick
✔️ My favorite ADHD parenting tools to build independence & confidence
