From Chaos to Connection – Workbook 3
Making It Work: Routines, Rhythm, and Creative Strategies for Parenting ADHD Brilliantly
Now that you’ve survived, it’s time to strategize.
This isn’t about rigid schedules or Pinterest-perfect charts. This is about real-life tools for real ADHD families — where time blindness, emotional intensity, and executive function challenges meet compassion, flexibility, and fun.
In Making It Work, we move from emotional leadership into everyday strategy — transforming routines, transitions, and even screen-time battles into opportunities for connection and confidence. Whether you’re dealing with missed buses, explosive transitions, or the mystery of a kid who can hyperfocus for hours but forgets their shoes, this workbook is your guide to navigating ADHD with heart and skill.
Inside You’ll Learn:
How to build routines that actually work for ADHD brains (and don’t fall apart the second someone’s tired or overstimulated)
What “time blindness” really is, and how to stop letting it run your family into chaos
Mindfulness for parents who don’t have time to meditate – reclaim calm without guilt or pressure
Why side quests (aka distractions) aren’t failures – and how to use them to build momentum
How to gamify boring tasks to make everyday life more fun and engaging
The science of body doubling, co-regulation, and how simply being with your child can help them thrive
How to handle hyperfocus without meltdowns, and when to step in vs. let it flow
Backed by Neuroscience, Rooted in Compassion this workbook blends brain-based strategies with deep empathy and strategic examples for parenting preschoolers, school-aged kids and teenagers. No shame. No lectures. Just tools that meet your child where they are — and help you parent from a place of clarity, calm, and connection.
You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be present — with a few great tools in your pocket.
Let’s make it work — together.

Building on Reframing ADHD (Workbook 1) and Self-regulation (Workbook 2), Workbook 3 helps you build Routines and Rhythms that favor connection over control and work with your child's brain, skills and interests instead of against it.
Perfect for: Parents of kids (or teens) with ADHD, autism, or sensory challenges; Families who are done with sticker charts and star systems that don’t work; Caregivers looking for practical, trauma-informed, evidence-based strategies that honor neurodivergent brilliance.
