Parent Ed: ADHD Is Awesome

Parenting a child with ADHD can be exhausting, frustrating, and unexpectedly joyful — sometimes all before breakfast.

The forgotten assignments. The emotional whiplash. The intense focus on exactly the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time. Families living with ADHD know that the same brain that creates real challenges can also bring creativity, humor, energy, and a distinctive way of seeing the world.

In this lively and refreshingly honest talk, viral creators and New York Times bestselling authors Kim and Penn Holderness share what they have learned from living, parenting and working with ADHD. Both diagnosed with ADHD, they bring firsthand experience, plenty of hard-earned perspective and the humor that has made The Holderness Family a favorite of millions.

Drawing from their book “ADHD Is Awesome,” Kim and Penn will unpack what is actually happening inside the ADHD brain, why common parenting approaches can backfire, and how families can work with ADHD instead of constantly fighting it. This is not about pretending ADHD is easy. It is about understanding the hard parts, dropping the shame, and recognizing the strengths that too often go unseen.

You’ll learn:

• Why the ADHD brain struggles to choose what deserves attention
• How to reduce conflict around routines, schoolwork, and everyday responsibilities
• Ways to support emotional regulation without shaming or escalating
• How to recognize and nurture the creativity, energy, and strengths of an ADHD mind
• What parents can do when the strategies that “should” work simply don’t
