Have holidays historically been difficult for your child with ADHD? Do the changes in routine affect their behavior? In this episode of the Soaring child podcast, discover how to best prepare your child with ADHD for the changes in routine that the holiday season brings, how to handle judgment from well-meaning relatives without letting it affect your confidence or emotional state, and how to both prevent and manage meltdowns when the excitement and overstimulation of the holidays start to take their toll.
Ashley Gobeil is a frequent guest on this podcast because she gets it—she’s helped countless families like yours and mine navigate the complexities of raising a child with ADHD. She is a highly experienced therapist with over 15 years in the field. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, a Master’s in Social Health & Counseling, and a Master’s of Social Work.
But beyond the credentials, she’s worked in a wide range of settings, including childcare, schools, and child and adolescent mental health. Her expertise includes supporting children with ADHD, ODD, and learning difficulties, and she’s a trusted voice on issues like family dynamics, trauma, and attachment theory.
This conversation could make all the difference this holiday season, so tune in!
