In this Smart ADHD Bite-Size episode, I highlight key insights from episode 21 with Dr. Tamara Rosier, author of You, Me, and Our ADHD Family. Together, we discuss the impact of ADHD on family dynamics and how ADHD traits can interact within families. Dr. Rosier shares her concepts of “Monkey Malarkey” to personify ADHD behaviours, the importance of expanding our “window of tolerance” to manage emotions, and why focusing on self-control instead of controlling others can create a stable family environment.
