PAP 004: Neglecting Your Own Self-Care Could Actually Be Making Your Child’s ADHD Behavior Worse

One of the most important things we can do to be successful and effective parents, is to take time for ourselves — time to recharge, rejuvenate, recenter, and reclaim a mindful existence. Parents (especially moms, {wink, wink}) make kids and spouses top priority and only then then consider something for ourselves, if there’s time (there’s never time when you have kids. never. ever.).

It takes determination and learning to say “no,” but you can take time for yourself. Permission granted.
