When I was raising my son, I knew he was brilliant—but I also knew the world didn’t always know how to support brains like his. It wasn’t until much later that I discovered I also have ADHD. Suddenly, so many of my own childhood memories made sense: the intense feelings, the racing thoughts, the disappearing when overwhelmed. I wasn’t “too much” or “unfocused”—I was neurodivergent.

And I wasn’t alone.

Now, as an educator and advocate, I meet so many parents—especially mothers—who are raising tween girls that feel everything deeply, forget instructions mid-sentence, or shut down when something feels “too big.” Often these girls are misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or missed altogether because ADHD doesn’t always look the same in girls as it does in boys.

That’s why I created the ADHD Support Toolkit for Parents of Tween Girls.

This free toolkit is grounded in:

• My lived experience as a neurodivergent woman
• My journey as a parent who had to learn without a roadmap
• My decades as a professor guiding students with invisible differences

You’ll find simple, practical strategies that build connection, boost confidence, and give your daughter (and you) permission to do things differently.
