#194: ADHD and Hygiene: How to Problem-Solve Daily Struggles Together

Struggling to get your child to brush their teeth, put on deodorant, or take a shower without a battle? You’re not alone! In today’s episode of Shining with ADHD, we’re talking all about hygiene—and how to make it easier for kids with ADHD. We’re sharing practical strategies, tackling sensory sensitivities, and sharing real tips from our listeners that have actually worked in their homes. Tune in for a collaborative, problem-solving approach that will help your child build independence (without the daily power struggles)!

MEET OUR TEAM

We are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. We’ve spent decades supporting thousands of families navigating ADHD. And we’re also moms: some of us raising kids with ADHD and some of us navigating it ourselves… which means we understand both the science and the real-life moments that don’t make it into textbooks.
