Rule Maker

from Backpacking Through ADHD · host Tera Greenwood

Parenting ADHD means becoming the “rule maker”—but that doesn’t mean playing drill sergeant. In this episode, I explore the messy middle of setting boundaries while leaving space to bend. From the chaos of chore charts that collapsed, to the nights when breaking bedtime rules meant saving connection, this conversation is all about how rules can both anchor and overwhelm ADHD families. We’ll talk about why fewer rules work better, how to phrase them so kids actually hear them, why consequences have to fit in the moment, and when love matters more than holding the line. If you’ve ever wondered how to survive the daily storms without losing yourself in rigidity—or giving up on rules altogether—this one’s for you. Tune in to Backpacking Through ADHD and let’s keep rewriting the map, one boundary and one breakthrough at a time.
