I am the grandmother of an adopted child who has ADHD and significant trauma. Her parents and I are always looking for ways to help her. Nurtured Heart and Trauma Informed Parenting methods are being implemented. I think we all feel a bit lost and overwhelmed because the ADHD parenting information sometimes seems to be contradictory to TIP. I have read that the job of a parent is to teach, but when trauma is involved the job of the parent is to heal, and until the child feels safe it is very difficult for other things to be implemented. Where does trauma parenting and ADHD overlap, and which, if any, takes precedence? I really like your videos and information-thank you
