Are we to blame for our kids' ADHD? In this spicy episode of Chaos & Caffeine, your ADHD parenting bestie Danielle Kelly dives into the viral Diary of a CEO interview with Erica Komisar, where she drops a parenting bomb: that ADHD might be caused by daycare and parental choices. Uh, what?
Danielle unpacks the science (yes, real studies), the myths, and the emotional toll of blaming parents—especially moms—for their children's neurodivergence.
