You can't control everything. Here's what you can.
from The ADHD habits podcast · host Monique Suidgeest
Most parents of children living with ADHD spend their days in reactive mode putting out fires, managing meltdowns, and struggling to get to the end of the day in one piece. This episode is about shifting from reactive to proactive. Using the science of locus of control and the habit framework from Atomic Habits, Mon walks through what parents actually have power over and how one small proactive action on a Sunday can change the tone of the entire week.SCIENCE REFERENCESRotter, J.
