Is your child constantly forgetting things, melting down after school, or bouncing between tasks?
Are you exhausted from trying to figure out what’s behavior... and what’s something deeper?
Wondering if your child’s struggles could be ADHD?
In this episode of Mom Life Uncomplicated, I’m joined by parenting coach and ADHD expert Kristina Manning. We break down what ADHD really looks like in kids, how it’s often misunderstood, and what families can do to bring more calm and connection to the home.
Kristina shares her experience as a mom of three, including two children with ADHD, and offers practical tools for parents navigating this challenging but very common diagnosis.

🧠 Here’s What We Cover:

  • What ADHD is (and what it’s not)

  • Why ADHD often shows up differently in girls

  • How executive function affects focus, emotion, and behavior

  • What a “Ferrari brain with bicycle brakes” really means

  • The difference between inattentive vs hyperactive ADHD

  • How to create a routine that helps kids feel safe and succeed

  • Why some kids seem “fine” at school but fall apart at home

  • How to shift from correction to connection in your parenting

  • Support for moms who feel overwhelmed or isolated

When you understand how ADHD works in the brain, you stop blaming yourself—or your child.
This episode helps you move from reacting to responding with calm, clarity, and confidence.
You don’t need to do this alone. And there are simple tools that make a big difference.
