Understanding why can help change how you respond.
Less conflict. More understanding. Practical strategies you can use at home.
When the usual parenting strategies
don’t seem to work.
Does this sound familiar?
Your child may know what they are supposed to do and still struggle to do it. Everyday routines can become difficult for the whole family.
- Constant battles around routines, homework or getting ready.
- Emotional outbursts that escalate quickly.
- Difficulty following through despite repeated reminders.
- Consequences that seem to make little difference.
- Challenges with organisation, independence or confidence.
- Uncertainty about when to push and when to provide more support.
Who is this group for?
This group is designed for parents and caregivers of primary-school-aged children who have received a formal diagnosis of ADHD from an appropriately qualified health professional.
Please note: This is a parent support and skills-based group and does not provide ADHD assessment or diagnosis. We are unable to assess whether your child meets diagnostic criteria for ADHD, provide an ADHD diagnosis, or offer individual diagnostic opinions within the group context. If your child has not yet received a formal ADHD diagnosis, we recommend discussing assessment options with an appropriately qualified health professional before registering.

A formal ADHD diagnosis is required. A brief suitability conversation helps the team determine whether this program is a good fit for your family.
