#009 Losing Control

When your child’s mind won’t slow down at night, bedtime becomes more than a routine — it becomes a challenge of connection, patience, and understanding.In this gentle, late-night episode, we explore why many children with ADHD struggle to fall asleep and how parents can support them with compassion. Drawing on the work of Dr. Russell Barkley, Dr. Nora Volkow, Dr. Stephen Porges, Dr. Judson Brewer, Dr. Sara Lazar, and Dr. Dan Siegel, we look at the neuroscience of rest, emotional regulation, and the power of co-regulation.Through science, strategies, and a tender real-life story, discover how to create calm, safety, and softness at bedtime — not by forcing stillness, but by guiding it.Perfect for parents, caregivers, and anyone raising a beautifully wired ADHD child.If you like what I do, consider buying me a coffee. https://buymeacoffee.com/fzts9andx
