For parents with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia, seeing their child struggle in familiar ways can bring up old stressors and traumas. The goal of this expertled series is to help parents understand and navigate their own feelings from past school experiences, while supporting a child who learns and thinks differently.

Episode 1 is all about figuring out where these difficult feelings come from, and why they can be so overwhelming. Host and psychologist Dr. Johnson also shares what parents can do to start working through these big emotions.

Can you relate to any of the experiences/situations mentioned in the video? Feel free to share your story in the comments.
