SUMMARY
“I want to pick the show!”
“I want to sit by Mom!”
“Leave me alone!”
The sibling struggle is real and can be exhausting for parents and caregivers. Trying to operate as a mediator between your kids gets old very quickly. At times, it seems like EVERYTHING is a competition. We know that having a child or two in the home with ADHD only intensifies the inevitable conflict. In this episode, we interview Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart, a standout in pediatric psychology, about navigating developmental sibling conflict. We hope to help your kids move from competition to cooperation.

AFFILIATE INFORMATION
We talk A LOT about executive function and what it takes for our kids with ADHD to plan and execute important tasks in their lives. But what about us? The mental load of parenting is real, and there is SO MUCH we have to use our executive functions for. One of those things is meal planning. What does everyone like? What will my kids eat? Which family member can have dairy, and which one can’t have gluten? The list goes on and on. We know nutrition is important, but balanced meals take a backseat between school, therapy appointments, activities, and more. That is why we are loving Hungryroot.
