Raising Them On Purpose — One Size Doesn’t Fit All: Parenting Different Kids with Different Needs

🪑 EPISODE 3 — One Size Doesn’t Fit All: Parenting Different Kids with Different Needs

Hey there, mama. Ever feel like the way you parent one kid works beautifully... but totally crashes and burns with another? 😅 Welcome to the club—and welcome back to Raising Them On Purpose.

I’m your host, Becky Williams—a fellow ADHD-brained mom figuring it out in real time. In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the trickiest parts of parenting: loving our kids differently without guilt or burnout.

🔍 Here’s what we’re unpacking:

• Why “fair” doesn’t always mean “equal”
• How different kid personalities (like 🐢 Cozy Turtles & 🌪 Happy Hurricanes) need totally different parenting energy
• How to break free from the “good kid” bias and the trap of equal discipline
• Why switching emotional gears all day can fry your ADHD brain—and what to do about it

💡 ADHD Tool of the Day:
The Connection Over Correction Grid—a quick, visual tool you can post on your fridge to help you respond instead of react.

🧠 Next time: We’re diving into parenting Overthinkers and Overfeelers—and how to calm the chaos without shutting anyone down.
