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. \nDrawing 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.
