Claire Quigley Ward’s Parenting Story

All Aboard ADHD is a podcast for all parents and caregivers navigating the world of ADHD and keen to support their child with ADHD.

Join us on a journey of exploration and education about ADHD, inviting all parents of children with ADHD, and those interested in learning more about it, to come on board. Whether you’re at the beginning of this journey asking: ‘What now?’ Or you’ve trodden this path for a while asking: ‘What next?’... we’re here for you.

In this first episode, Claire shares her ‘why’ for creating this podcast: her own journey as a parent of an ADHD child, with some refreshingly honest insight about her experiences. Differences began to show in her son around the age of 6, leading her to seek support from her GP initially for herself, then eventually leading to a diagnosis for her son. Claire shares some insight into how that journey looked for herself and her family - the ups, the downs, and everything in between. 

Claire shares the gritty reality of supporting her son with his emotional regulation, how his diagnosis was the starting point for learning all about ADHD, not just in terms of challenges but also strengths, and what accommodations he has at home and at school to support him to thrive.

Wherever you are on your journey with an ADHD diagnosis for your child, come on board with us and learn more about ADHD. After all, knowledge is power!
