ADHD 101 - Tips to better support neurodivergent children with Dr. Kelly Cagle
Wednesday, 11 March, 2026
Many families today are navigating life with neurodivergent children, from ADHD to dyslexia to autism, and it can feel overwhelming to know how to best support them.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kelly Cagle, host of Parenting IQ, who has a passion for helping moms create refreshing rhythms at home. She shares personal stories, research-backed insight, and practical ways parents can better support kids with ADHD.One of my favorite parts of this conversation was her encouragement for parents to truly understand their kids, to see the unique and beautiful way their brains process the world. It can be tempting to try to force neurodivergent kids into more typical patterns of behavior, but when we learn how their brains work, we can lead with empathy and help set them up to thrive.I learned so much from this conversation, and I think it will really encourage parents walking this road.00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Hosts01:12 Personal and Professional Background of Dr. Kelly Cagle03:05 Understanding ADHD: Definitions and Personal Experiences05:30 Challenges in Traditional Education for ADHD Children10:59 The Impact of Society and Genetics on ADHD15:52 Navigating Parenting with ADHD: Systems and Support19:06 Understanding Neurodiversity in Parenting21:42 Homeschooling vs. Traditional Education25:04 Navigating Diagnoses and Labels30:43 Practical Strategies for Parents32:00 The Journey of Writing a BookConnect with Pardon The Mess:Christian ParentingPardon The Mess Courtney DeFeoORDER YOUR 2026-2027 PRAYER JOURNAL NOWResources from today’s show:Connect with KellyParenting IQ Podcast7 Personal Systems to Lower StressADHD is awesome by Penn HoldernessSign up for Morning MinuteOpen a LearningRX centerThe Hunt for the KrakenLives of Faith and Grace seriesPardon The Mess is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.
