SHINING WITH ADHD #220: Traveling with ADHD Kids: Real Talk, Mishaps, and Survival Tips The Childhood Collective 5/27/2026 SUMMARY Traveling with ADHD kids can feel like a mix of magical memories, unexpected meltdowns, forgotten chargers, and “why did we think this was a good idea?” moments. In this episode, podcast host and mom Jessica Shaw shares honest stories and practical strategies for traveling with ADHD kids with a little less stress and a lot less pressure. We talk about managing expectations, handling overwhelm, preparing for transitions, and letting go of the idea of the “perfect” vacation. If family trips have ever left you more exhausted than refreshed, this episode will help you laugh, reset, and feel more prepared for the chaos.
