Talk Overview
ADHD isn’t just about distraction or hyperactivity. It is a difference in how a child’s brain develops and functions. For many families, this shows up as emotional outbursts, daily battles, and a constant sense of things feeling harder than they should.

In this practical and supportive talk, neuroscientist and parenting coach Blanka Kellermayer will help parents and carers understand what is really going on beneath their child’s behaviour. She will explain why traditional discipline approaches often backfire with ADHD, and what works more effectively instead.

You will learn:

  • What is happening in the ADHD brain in simple, relatable terms, so your child’s behaviour starts to make sense
  • Why behaviour is not just naughtiness, helping you respond with more confidence and less frustration
  • Practical strategies to support emotional regulation, cooperation, and daily routines, so daily battles start to ease and you feel more in control as a parent  

Parents will leave with a clearer understanding of their child and practical tools they can use straight away to reduce daily battles, handle meltdowns with more confidence, and bring more calm and cooperation into everyday family life.
