The Living ADDventure ADHD Online Parenting Course is created and presented by Dave Pughe-Parry the founder of Living ADDventure.

Although created with ADHD parents in mind, it is a great parenting course for all parents, au pairs, teachers etc.

In the 21st century most of us display many ADHD behaviours as we are distracted by technology and extremely hectic lifestyles.

For several years we have run this course in a Support Group format with groups of between 4 and 10 members who meet once a week for 12 weeks.

It is an online programme and each module contains the following:

• Videos for each module
• Notes and other documents
• Chapters of our audio book, “I’m Audacious, Original and Innovative … I have ADHD” 
• Free e-mail support and optional paid Skype support
• A private Facebook group to share your successes and difficulties

At the bottom of this page you can watch 4 short video clips telling you more about the course.

Very soon after he started coaching people who have ADHD, Dave Pughe-Parry, the founder of Living ADDventure® found that getting family, friends, and teachers involved was the key to creating lasting changes.

Non-ADHD members need to learn how to deal with their ADHD children, parents, siblings and even extended family and school. The workplace is difficult and must be handled with care, as victimisation can occur.

This is why Dave embarked on a program of training teachers so everyone could be on the same page and work together.

In 2011 Dave created the first version of this course for support groups of between 4 and 10 members who met once a week for 12 weeks where a different module was covered each week. These were extremely successful but our reach was limited to where we were based or where we had trained support group leaders.

As our clients are spread throughout the world and Skype one-on-one coaching is neither accessible or affordable for everyone, we decided to create our own online training platform where we have launched this Parenting Course.

Our Living ADDventure® Study Skills Course will be coming soon and we will continue to add new courses in the future.

• Parents
• Grandparents
• Caregivers
• Teachers

... in fact anyone who lives with or cares for someone with ADHD.

If you employ an Au Pair and you have ADHD in your family you will really help your Au Pair to care for your children in the most effective way. Knowledge is power.
