THE CALM PARENTING TOOLKIT

When your child melts down, you don’t have to fall apart.

Parenting a child with ADHD can feel like living inside a storm.
Big emotions. Big reactions. Constant worry that you’re doing it wrong.

If you’ve ever thought:

• “Why does everything turn into a battle?”

• “I know what I should do… but I can’t access it when I’m overwhelmed.”

• “I love my child so much, but I’m exhausted.”

You’re not alone.

And you’re not failing.

ADHD is a nervous system condition.
When your child is dysregulated, their brain is not able to think, reason, or cooperate.
And when you see that chaos, your nervous system reacts too.

That’s where this plan comes in.

The Calm Plan is a gentle, visual guide that walks you through what to do
when emotions run high — for your child and for you.

It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about having a steady path when things fall apart.

Inside, you’ll find:

• A step-by-step calm strategy for meltdowns

  • Parent nervous-system reset tools

  • Words that soothe — and words that escalate

  • How to wait with presence

  • Simple repair phrases for connection

This is for parents who:

• Feel activated, flooded, or panicked when their child melts down

• Want to respond with more calm and connection

• Are tired of yelling and then feeling ashamed

• Want tools that actually work in real life

I’m an LPCC and PPS who works with families navigating ADHD, anxiety, and emotional regulation.

But more than that, I know how painful it feels to love a child and not know how to help them in the hardest moments.

This plan was created to give you something to hold onto when everything feels out of control.

You can get the Calm Plan for free below.

It’s yours to:

• save on your phone

• print and hang up

• come back to when things feel hard
