Why I started my blog?

I started this blog to connect with other ADHD parents. I wanted to be able to share our experiences, trials, struggles, and joys with other parents who were on similar journeys. My goal is that parents who are just starting out would gain encouragement and learn from our experience, while others who are ahead of us on this would share and encourage me.

What I love / What I hate about blogging about family

I love that my blog is becoming a journal that I can look back on and see what we have been through and what we have conquered. It has also become a great way for me to process some of the behaviors that we struggle with.

I do have a hard time not sharing personal information. My nature is to want to put everything out there, and be completely open. Because some of the things are of sensitive nature I have changed my children's names on the blog. I don't like that aspect of my blog but I know it is necessary.

Advice

  • Use your blog to connect to other ADHD bloggers. They are such a wonderful resource. I didn't realize that other blogs like this existed until I started my blog. It has been great to have that support system.
