Parents, family and relationships

Support group for parents of children with ADHD

Raising a child with ADHD means working at full throttle – often without understanding from the school and the family. This group gives you strategies that work, and people who understand.

Parents of children with ADHD need support too

A child’s ADHD is a challenge for the whole family: mornings like a battlefield, homework in instalments until the evening, emotional outbursts, notes home from school, comments from relatives (“you’ve simply spoilt him”) and the chronic exhaustion of a parent who is trying everything. Traditional parenting methods often fail, because the ADHD brain needs a different approach – and that is neither the child’s fault nor the parent’s.

The group combines a workshop with support. The workshop part covers specific strategies based on what we know about ADHD: how to give instructions that get through; how to organise studying and chores (external support for executive functions); how to respond to outbursts; how to work with the school and insist that adjustments are made. The support part is sharing experiences with parents who really know what your everyday life looks like – without judgement and without advice from another planet.

The group is led by a psychologist specialising in ADHD. We also welcome parents of children who are being assessed. At our centre we also offer ADHD assessment and TUS for children – together, these can work as a coherent family support system.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most important questions

Our child doesn’t have a diagnosis yet – can we join?▼

Yes. The strategies we teach help children with attention and emotional regulation difficulties regardless of a formal diagnosis. If you decide to go ahead with an assessment, we will carry out a comprehensive one at Sztuka Harmonii.

Is this a group for parents or sessions for the child?▼

It is a group for parents – the most effective intervention for ADHD in children is precisely parent training, because it is the adult who organises the child’s environment and teaches them regulation. For the children themselves we run TUS in parallel, and for adults with ADHD there is a separate group (ADHD often runs in families).

My partner and I have different approaches to parenting. Is that a problem?▼

This is a very common situation and one of the group’s topics – inconsistency between adults is particularly dysregulating for children with ADHD. It is best if both parents take part in the group; if that is not possible, you will get tools for involving the other parent in the changes.
