ADHD can bring many opposing challenges and connotations and can feel like heavy energy to deal with. Yet through gentle curiosity, we can find new options to reprogram our thinking and switch our emotional energy to create a happier, calmer and more fulfilling family life. Despite the challenges, we can focus on the things that we're proud of and which lift us. We can create more internal strength and greatness as parents - life can be easier than we believe. This week’s guest is a mum of six and special education teacher and college lecturer, Avigail Gimpel. Avigail has taught children of all ages in New York, Jerusalem, and Moscow and now teaches at Hertzog Teachers College.
