Summer was supposed to feel easier
No school runs. No homework battles. No rushing everyone out the door while your son is crying because his socks feel wrong.
But somehow, it can feel harder.
The routines disappear. The demands increase. Everyone I hotter, more dysregulated and more easily tipped over the edge.
You are suposed to be having fun but instead you find yourself constantly scanning for the next meltdown. Negotiating every tiny transition. Trying to hold the whole house together while quietly wondering why it still feels so hard.
You love your child deeply.
But sometimes, by the end of the day, you don't recognise the parent you've become.
if you've tried the books and the podcasts, the reward charts, the scripts and the instagram hacks and you're still shouting, snapping or shutting down
it doesn't mean you are failing.
It means the strategies you've been given were probably designed for a different kind of family.
Neurodivergent children need something different.
And so do neurodivergent parents.
This is NOT another parenting lecture.
This is a practical 90-minute reset designed to help you understand what is really happening underneath the shouting, shutdowns, meltdowns and power struggles - and what to do differently when everyone is already at capacity.
You will leave knowing
✅ What to do in the moment when your child explodes, refuses, runs away, lashes out or melts down
✅ Why shouting, bribing and threatening can feel like the only options - and how to get out of that cycle without losing all boundaries
✅ The hidden parenting pattern most neurodivergent families stuck in conflict, guilt and repair
✅ How to reduce daily battles without becoming permissive, passive or a doormat
✅ How to create more calm and connection this summer, even if routines fall apart and everyone is running on low sleep, low spoons and too many ice creams
This is for you if...
You’re an overwhelmed parent who’s tried pretty much everything but nothing seems to work
you want to stop shouting, but shouting, bribes and threats seem to be the only way to get your kids to listen
You’re tired of walking on eggshells and ready for parenting that feels good, not guilt-ridden
there are a lot of big feelings and/or behaviour's in your house (yours or your kids!)
you’ve outgrown sticker charts and want real strategies that respect everyone’s nervous system
You want a calm, connected summer - but you also want to enjoy your own life
Hi, I'm Lauren
I’m an ADHD parent, parent coach, Channel 5 expert, founder of Positively Parenting and author of You’re Not a Shit Parent. You Have ADHD.
I’ve worked with thousands of neurodivergent families who deeply love their children but are exhausted by the shouting, guilt, meltdowns, school stress, sibling conflict and constant emotional labour.
Earlier this year, I featured in the Channel 5 documentary Does My Child Have ADHD?, coaching an ADHD family through the exact kinds of challenges I support families with every day.
I also created the Growing Extraordinary Humans Framework and recently won the East of England Start Up For Good Award for my work supporting neurodivergent families.
My work is not about perfect parenting.
It is about helping you understand what is really happening in your family, so you can stop blaming yourself, stop battling your child, and start building a home that feels calmer, safer and more connected.
Don't just take my word for it...

Want to go deeper?
At the end of the masterclass, I'll share two powerful ways to continue this work:
Community
My community membership for neurodivergent families.
Think access to a plethora of neurodiversity experts and parent coaching at your fingertips.
Intensives
A full day deep dive at my Cambridgeshire home to finally shift the one intractable challenge you're stuck on. Come with a problem. Leave with a solution.
Kids do well if they can.
So do parents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be a recording?
Yes, a recoding of a version of this workshop will be shared
Is the venue accessible?
Unfortunately the meeting room is only accessible via stairs. Please let me know if this is an issue for you and I will do my best to accommodate.
On site parking is available. If the car park is full there is often space to park around the green.
Is this for parents with ADHD, children with ADHD or both?
This is for anyone living in (or supporting) a neurodivergent family. If you resonate with what you've just read, you're in the right place.
No diagnosis required.
If you are co-parenting, or supporting a parent with ADHD, you're in the right place.
If you identify as neurotypical but want to understand neurodivergence better and want to be a better parent, you are in the right place.
My child is autistic/PDA/highly sensitive. Will this help?
Definitely. Over 50% of my clients have autism in the mix and around half have children with PDA. Many of the parents I work with also identify as PDA.
Additionally, one of my children has a PDA profile
What if my partner can't come?
I encourage parenting partners to attend these sessions together as learning and planning together is almost always more successful. This is why I have the parenting partner discount. However, I fully appreciate that finding childcare for neurodivergent children can be an impossible task. To try and accommodate as many circumstances as possible I will be sending out a recording of the workshop to all attendee's to share with their partners at no additional cost.
Is this suitable if my child is very explosive?
Yes, explosive children is absolutely my bag. I live this every day and I was that explosive child myself.
Will this be practical or just theory?
We will be doing a combination of learning, dissecting your personal circumstances and making a practical survival plan for your own family this summer
Is it just for younger children?
Nope, It’s relevant whether you’ve got toddlers or teens. The tools are rooted in connection and the nervous system, not age.
I've tried everything. How is this different?
Every time I run a workshop, parents feed back to me something along the lines of, 'This is the first time someone has actually understood what we are going through', or 'I feel so seen!'
The way I see it, you can read the books, you can listen to the podcasts, you can ask chat GPT what you should do in a difficult situation... I'm not here to reproduce that. My workshops are rooted in the latest neuroscience which I translate to match your circumstances and what you need to know right now.
You will leave with a practical plan for your summer, a deeper understanding of where things are going wrong in your home and some tools to help you address that.
Perhaps even more importantly my workshops are deeply authentic places where parents open up and share things they may never have shared before. You will meet other parents in similar situations to you and will likely leave feeling a little less alone in your parenting. The workshop ends half an hour before the bar closes so there is time for us all to connect over a drink afterwards if we feel like it. No pressure but I will be there :)
