Kickoff Talk with The Holderness Family

ADHD is Awesome: How to (mostly) Thrive with ADHD – Parenting a child with ADHD can be exhausting, frustrating and unexpectedly joyful — sometimes all before breakfast. In this lively and refreshingly honest ParentMap Talk, viral creators and New York Times bestselling authors Kim and Penn Holderness share what they have learned from living, parenting and working with ADHD.

You’ll Learn: 

  • Why the ADHD brain struggles to choose what deserves attention
  • How to reduce conflict around routines, schoolwork and everyday responsibilities
  • Ways to support emotional regulation without shaming or escalating
  • How to recognize and nurture the creativity, energy and strengths of an ADHD mind
  • What parents can do when the strategies that “should” work simply don’t

Register for the entire series – Access is free to all St. John parents using the below promo code. Save time and register for the entire series!

**PARENTS SHOULD SIGN UP AGAIN THIS YEAR, EVEN IF THEY SIGNED UP FOR THE SERIES LAST YEAR.

PA Meeting Notes

Thanks to everyone who came out to our first PA Meeting on Friday, 9/4. Meeting notes are now available on the PA Website. It was great to reconnect and meet new parents. As a reminder, we meet monthly, and all St. John parents/guardians are encouraged to attend. We are all members of the PA!
