Shift from chaos and confusion to
Peace
Do you feel overwhelmed in this
information-heavy culture?
Without guidance, the overabundance of parenting information can leave us feeling inadequate and stuck. When you add in parenting a child with ADHD, it can feel nearly impossible! Our parenting methods can create conflict with our children, leading to power struggles and low self-esteem instead of connection, confidence, and skill building. This leaves us with broken and distant relationships, and children who aren’t able to navigate the world successfully.
When we parent our ADHD kids without understanding how they think, we are left feeling helpless and destined to repeat painful patterns, no matter how badly we want it to be different.
Community
Find support! Parenting kids with ADHD can feel very lonely and overwhelming. Build and sustain a community where you can grow and give back to others.
Curiosity
Replace labels and comparison with curiosity about how the ADHD brain works and the reasons behind challenging behaviors - let’s celebrate these unique minds!
Consistency
Incorporate daily practices and simple strategies that lead to long-term results. Thriving with ADHD is a lifelong journey, taken one small step at a time.
Don’t Do This Alone.
Guidance & Community
Are Here!
No matter what your family situation looks like right now, there is hope.
Depending on where things are at, it can be hard to believe there is truly another way. But I promise you there is.
None of us start off as parents knowing what to do. We create plans, try to be the people we want to be and watch as our perfect ideas get run over by the reality of daily life and the immense pressures of caring for our kids.
"As a parent of neurodivergent kids, I struggled with patience and my temper, often feeling guilty and lost. Ashley’s empathetic and practical guidance transformed my approach to parenting, fostering calmness and more emotional regulation. Our home is now more peaceful. If a friend were considering this coaching program, I would encourage them to invest in themselves; the peace and perspective gained are invaluable!"
-Tricia, Mom of 3 kids
"I was just surviving day to day, struggling to manage my triggers and connect deeply with my kids amidst a chaotic home with several neurodivergent kids. Despite trying various self-help resources, nothing was changing. Ashley’s relatable coaching helped me understand myself and improve our family dynamics profoundly. Her guidance was incredibly clear and applicable, leading to a significant shift in how I support my children. I highly recommend Ashley for anyone seeking to enhance their personal growth and family relationships."
-Dad of 3 boys
"I was a reactive parent that struggled with yelling. I thought I knew what I needed to know because I was a teacher and studied child development...boy was I wrong!
I initially hesitated not wanting to make the investment, but the program was worth every penny. The personable, down-to-earth approach and insightful questions helped me feel understood and improved my parenting. Ashley will say it like it is without making you feel like a crappy mom! I've become more aware of not only what I need to work on but HOW to work on it."
-Theresa, Mom of 2 kids
Hi! I’m Ashley Ogbaselassie
I am a lifelong learner, lover of connecting with people, and mom of 3 active boys. After struggling through the first years of parenting, getting stuck in comparison and feeling like I was the only one having a hard time, I finally navigated the long path to an ADHD diagnosis for my oldest and myself.
I finally came up for air after living in survival mode. Looking around, I realized there were
countless parents without a community to navigate these challenges. The need was so urgent that I informally started creating and leading my own support groups of parents. Then after I worked with my own ADHD parenting coach to help with family challenges, it clicked...this is what I need to do! I took a leap of faith to formalize my unofficial coaching role, becoming
a certified parent coach
through Jai Institute for Parenting.
After years of feeling different, I realized
ADHD is my superpower. I changed my perspective on ADHD symptoms and realized:
- Hyper Focusing on ADHD research and problem solving for my own family can now help others
- Inattention can drive efficiency, resulting in simple, easy strategies that I share with my clients
- Hyperactivity provides energy and passion making this process inviting and exciting for clients
- Impulsivity drives unfiltered truth so we can get to the root of challenges instead of avoiding them
As an ADHD mom of ADHD kids, I guarantee that judgment is not a part of my vocabulary.
It is OK to ask for parenting support. You don't have to do it alone because we all need help!!
The traditional parenting approach
doesn’t work for kids with ADHD.
It makes you feel like you’re not doing a good job.
But that’s not the truth. I believe that the real issue is that we’re not taught how to be the kind of parents most of us long to be so we end up using strategies that don’t work for our specific families.
Which is why when you contact me, you will be met with understanding, a non-judgemental openness and a supportive, personalized, effective plan that I will guide you through every step of the way.
How It Works:
When you book a call with me, we’ll sit down together and talk so I can get a sense of what’s going on for you and your family and where I can offer support.
I’ll explain my approach and the options we have for working together. You can ask any questions you have and see what type of support would be the best fit for your life and schedule.
If it feels right to you, we can book our first session and get started. If it’s not a good fit, I will do my best to offer alternative resources or suggestions for support, wherever possible. There’s no pressure of any kind, simply an opportunity to see if we are a good fit to work together.
Let's Talk!
So that you don’t have to do this alone..
And instead take the first step towards a more peaceful family..
