ADHD Support for Parents

Welcome, If you’re raising a child with ADHD and looking for practical support that goes beyond simply managing symptoms, you’ve come to the right place.

ADHD can affect far more than attention. Emotional outbursts, impulsivity, poor frustration tolerance, difficulties at school, constant arguments and inconsistent behaviour can leave parents wondering what is really going on — and what they can actually do to help.

This ADHD Support for Parents blog series brings together over 15 years of coaching experience, combining our understanding of ADHD with principles from boxing and fitness coaching combined with performance psychology and regularly put into practice with the children and parents we work with at our Alternate Education Provision.

Throughout the series, we’ll explore everything from emotional regulation, behaviour and boundaries to school, exercise, nutrition and parenting strategies — with a strong focus on helping you move beyond simply managing behaviour and start developing the skills your child needs to focus, regulate, build resilience and develop greater self-control.

First allow me to introduce myself. I’m Matt Flavell, the founder of Boxing Evolution Ltd, where for over 15 years, I’ve dedicated myself to reshaping 1000’s of people’s lives helping them reach their full potential, through the power of boxing, underpinned by teaching the psychology of success and mentorship.
