Are you exhausted by emotional blowups, shutdowns, or constant power struggles?
If your home often feels like…
small frustrations turn into big reactions
logic and consequences don’t work in the moment
your child melts down after holding it together all day
conversations escalate faster than you expect
everyone feels reactive, and repair feels hard
You are not alone.
And your child is not defiant.
Emotional intensity is common in ADHD —
and it is deeply connected to executive function and nervous system regulation.
In this session....
Dr. Grizelda Anguiano, introduces a compassionate, brain-based framework for understanding emotional regulation in ADHD families.
Instead of focusing only on behavior, we explore the executive function skills, stress patterns, and relational dynamics that shape emotional reactivity — and how small shifts in structure, connection, and repair can transform family interactions.
This is not about eliminating emotions.
It is about building safer emotions and stronger relationships.
What You'll Learn in From Reactivity to Repair
Why Emotional Regulation Is an Executive Function Skill
Emotional intensity is not a character flaw — it reflects developing regulation capacity that can be strengthened over time.
Why Logic Fails During Heated Moments
When the nervous system is activated, correction and consequences rarely land. Regulation must come first.
The ADHD Emotional Loop
How reactivity, shame, and disconnection reinforce each other — and how to interrupt the cycle.
Regulation Before Connection Before Correction
A practical sequence that reduces power struggles and increases cooperation.
The Role of Repair
Why rupture is inevitable, and how repair builds resilience, trust, and long-term regulation skills.
