ADHD Parenting Without Punishment: Randy Free’s PEACE-ful Parenting Process for Connection, Calm, and Resilience
Description
Are you exhausted from the daily battles, meltdowns, and power struggles of ADHD parenting? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep white-knuckling it through the chaos. In this episode of Chaos & Caffeine, Danielle sits down with ADHD parenting coach and counselor Randy Free, creator of the PEACE-ful Parenting Process, to talk about practical, real-world strategies that actually work for neurodivergent families.
Randy brings both professional expertise and lived experience as a parent raising kids with ADHD into thriving adults. Together, we unpack why punishment doesn’t work for ADHD kids, how to move from constant conflict to real connection, and the step-by-step PEACE framework: Perspective, Ease, Attune, Connect, Empower.
If you’re ready to swap meltdowns for meaningful moments and raise emotionally resilient kids without losing your mind, this episode is your permission slip to parent differently—and finally breathe again.
