Are you exhausted from the daily battles, meltdowns, and power struggles of ADHD parenting? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep white-knuckling it through the chaos. In this episode of Chaos & Caffeine, Danielle sits down with ADHD parenting coach and counselor Randy Free, creator of the PEACE-ful Parenting Process, to talk about practical, real-world strategies that actually work for neurodivergent families.
Randy brings both professional expertise and lived experience as a parent raising kids with ADHD into thriving adults. Together, we unpack why punishment doesn’t work for ADHD kids, how to move from constant conflict to real connection, and the step-by-step PEACE framework: Perspective, Ease, Attune, Connect, Empower.
If you’re ready to swap meltdowns for meaningful moments and raise emotionally resilient kids without losing your mind, this episode is your permission slip to parent differently—and finally breathe again.
