## Resource

In this episode I share the real experience of being caught up in a reactive pattern around the relentless asking, negotiating, conflict, etc. I share a 2 day breakdown and get really granular on what was happening for both my son and for me. I share the negative thoughts that were driving my behavior and the real impact that dopamine seeking has on an ADHD kid. I share how we decided to interrupt this pattern with skill development and what we are going to do in order to support these moments in a totally different way. If you resonate and are tired of these relentless moments, book your free call with me and we'll talk about what kind of support would benefit both you and your child. https://calendly.com/responseableparenting 🎉STOP YELLING!
