Executive Functioning Coaching for Parents of Teens with ADHD
Many parents feel exhausted by daily struggles that don’t improve no matter how much effort they put in. Organization, follow-through, routines, and transitions often become constant sources of stress at both home and school.
This coaching service is designed to help parents understand ADHD, recognize how a neurodivergent brain impacts everyday behavior, and build practical systems that support their teen’s independence across environments.
This is not family therapy and not behavioral intervention.It is structured, skill-based coaching focused on supporting executive functioning in teens with ADHD (Ages 13–18).
Who This Coaching Is For
This service is a good fit for parents who:
- Have a teen diagnosed with ADHD
- See executive functioning struggles at school and at home
- Feel worn down by repeated reminders, arguments, or shutdowns
- Want to hold expectations without constant conflict
- Feel unsure how to respond without over-disciplining or over-accommodating
- Want practical, ADHD-informed strategies that reduce daily stress
Parents often come in realizing they are disciplining their teen for behaviors driven by ADHD-related executive functioning challenges rather than choice — and feeling exhausted by managing school demands and daily life without fully understanding how their teen’s brain is wired.
Scope of This Work
This coaching program focuses specifically on ADHD-related executive functioning support.
While stress and family conflict often co-occur with ADHD, this service is not intended to function as family therapy, behavioral treatment, school advocacy, or IEP/504 support. This service also does not treat autism spectrum disorders. The primary focus remains on helping parents understand ADHD and build systems and expectations that align with how ADHD brains develop.
What We Work On
Coaching is practical, structured, and tailored to each family. Common focus areas include:
- Understanding ADHD and executive functioning
- Identifying why common discipline strategies backfire
- Redesigning routines and expectations at home
- Reducing reminders, nagging, and power struggles
- Supporting task initiation and follow-through
- Managing overwhelm, shutdown, and emotional escalation
- Creating systems that promote independence over time
The goal is to reduce daily stress for parents while helping teens with ADHD function more consistently across environments.
How Coaching Sessions Work
Sessions are practical and focused on real life. Each session includes:
- Talking through what’s been hardest lately and what’s helping, even a little
- Building an understanding of ADHD and how it shows up in a neurodivergent brain
- Learning one clear ADHD-related strategy at a time
- Applying that strategy to what’s actually happening at home or school
- Leaving with a simple, manageable plan to try before the next session
The goal is to help parents understand why certain patterns keep repeating and to make changes that feel doable rather than overwhelming.
