ADHD Parenting Under Pressure: Dan Mickle on Mental Toughness, Emotional Regulation & Coaching Focused Kids
What if you could parent your ADHD child like a high-performance coach—calm, confident, and totally in control, even during a full-blown cereal aisle meltdown?
In this powerhouse episode of Chaos & Caffeine, certified mental performance coach Dan Mickle breaks down what every ADHD parent needs to know about building mental resilience, regulating emotions (theirs AND ours), and helping neurodivergent kids thrive in a world that wasn’t built for them.
We’re ditching the toxic positivity and diving deep into:
- Mental toughness strategies for ADHD families
- Coaching your child’s mindset instead of correcting their behavior
- Tools for staying calm when your kid is unraveling
- How to teach executive function, emotional regulation, and focus at home
Whether you’re navigating meltdowns, school struggles, or burnout by bedtime—this episode is your new playbook.

This Month’s Sponsor: 💊 NeuroNeeds
A science-backed supplement line created by Dr. Richard Boles, a geneticist and ADHD dad who walked this exact road. These all-natural formulas were developed to support focus, mood, and brain health—and they helped his own son transition off stimulants and thrive in college. So if you’ve ever wished you had a scientist in your back pocket, this is it.
📱 Goally
Screens aren’t the enemy—lack of support is. That’s why I’m obsessed with Goally, the tablet built specifically for neurodivergent kids. It’s distraction-free (no YouTube, no internet rabbit holes) and comes loaded with visual schedules, routines, AAC, timers, and even behavior tracking tools.
