Episode 207: Parenting Kids Who Are Struggling with ADHD-Based Behaviours with Ashley Gobeil

This week on the podcast, we’re joined by Ashley Gobeil, a Child and Family Therapist, trauma-specific counsellor, and social worker who specialises in supporting families through emotional and behavioural challenges. Parenting a child with ADHD-based behaviours can feel overwhelming, but Ashley offers compassionate guidance and practical strategies to help families build connection, resilience, and confidence in their parenting journey.
In This Episode, We Cover:
The difference between ADHD and ADHD-based behaviours—and why understanding this distinction is key.
Why validating your child’s feelings, rather than focusing on immediate correction, fosters resilience.
How prolonged stress and emotional dysregulation impact both children and parents.
How managing your own emotions can create a calmer home environment.
How physical activity and mindfulness techniques can improve focus and self-regulation.
Practical ways to support kids with working memory, organisation, and impulse control.
A holistic approach to parenting: The role of brain development, gut health, somatic interventions, and cultural wisdom in supporting children’s emotional and behavioural well-being.
Ashley reminds us that parenting is an ongoing process and how it isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about consistency, emotional safety, and creating a home environment where children feel seen and understood. 
Tune in to learn how to better support your child, manage challenging behaviours with confidence, and create a home environment that fosters connection and growth.
