Many of us find ourselves caught in the “conflict loop," or a cycle of arguing, negotiating, and giving in that leaves everyone frustrated. In this episode, we break down what the conflict loop looks like and how parents can avoid getting pulled into endless back-and-forths. With a few intentional shifts, you can reduce daily battles and create more peace at home.   MEET OUR TEAM We are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. Most importantly, we are moms, just like you. After working with families over a combined total of 40 years, we saw a need to provide ongoing support and education to parents raising children with ADHD.
