Explaining ADHD to Your Child: The Why and How

$0.00

How do you tell your child they have ADHD — without overwhelming them, scaring them, or stuffing it up?

This guide is here for the mums stuck in that exact moment. The ones who know their kid needs to hear the truth, but don’t know how to say it.
It’s short, real, and actually helpful — not clinical, not fluffy, and definitely not patronising.

This is about giving your child language that builds understanding instead of shame. Because they probably already feel different. You’re just helping them name it — with love, clarity, and zero bullshit.

This kit was made for:

  • You’ve been waiting for “the right time” to talk to your child about ADHD

  • You’re terrified of saying the wrong thing

  • You’re worried about labelling them — but don’t want them blaming themselves

  • You don’t know how to explain ADHD in kid-friendly terms

  • You want your child to feel understood, not broken

  • You need something short and practical — not a 40-page workbook

BTW: Purchasing this kit helps support the ADHD Mums Podcast! Every episode takes time, energy, and behind-the-scenes work. This kit helps cover those costs.’

Explaining ADHD to Your Child: The Why and How

A simple, empowering guide for starting the conversation (without messing it up)

Inside, you’ll get:

  • Clear guidance on how and when to start the conversation

  • Scripts and analogies that actually make sense to kids (think: brain glasses, video game glitches, operating systems)

  • Common worries tackled head-on — including “What if they hate the label?” or “What if they push back?”

  • Reframing tools to swap shame-based language for empowering ones

  • Tips for using visuals, stories, and day-to-day chats to explain neurodivergence gently

  • Permission to come back and revisit the convo — without needing to get it perfect the first time
