Tarryn Poulton shares strategies for ADHD parents, offering practical support and emotional guidance to navigate daily challenges with compassion.
When Tarryn Poulton’s daughter was diagnosed with ADHD, she was already a paediatric occupational therapist with over a decade of experience. She had worked with hundreds of families, guided children through sensory challenges, and coached parents on emotional regulation and executive function. But nothing quite prepared her for the raw, emotional weight of navigating ADHD within her own home.
Despite her professional training, Tarryn found herself overwhelmed—teary after school drop-offs, second-guessing every parenting decision, and wondering how she could feel so lost. The clinical tools she once used with ease suddenly felt harder to apply in the middle of morning meltdowns and bedtime battles.
That disconnect between expertise and reality sparked something powerful: a desire to create a space for parents who were also quietly struggling. That space became Nurture ADHD.
From Professional to Parent: The Birth of Nurture ADHD
Tarryn’s journey into ADHD advocacy wasn’t born in a therapy clinic—it was born at her kitchen bench, late at night, while Googling strategies and wiping away tears. She quickly realised that many families had access to professional advice, but very few were offered real-world support that accounted for the emotional exhaustion, guilt, and judgement that often come with parenting a neurodivergent child.
Through Nurture ADHD, Tarryn bridges that gap. Her platform offers more than just theory—it’s a compassionate, actionable, and honest look at what parenting a child with ADHD really looks like. She shares tools, routines, and emotional regulation strategies—but also the messy, unfiltered moments of being a mother trying to hold it all together.
A New Approach: What Makes Nurture ADHD Stand Out
Unlike many ADHD experts, Tarryn’s approach combines professional insight from her background as an Occupational Therapist with real-world parenting experience. This blend allows her to offer ADHD parenting advice that is both research-backed and immediately practical.
Nurture ADHD’s approach emphasizes connection, co-regulation, and routines designed to align with how the brain works, not against it. For Tarryn, it’s not just about teaching discipline or behavior management, it’s about transforming the parent-child dynamic. “ADHD doesn’t just show up in school reports or focus struggles,” Tarryn explains. “It shows up in bedtime battles, morning chaos, and big, messy emotions.” This is where her platform shines offering parents a compassionate, grounded approach to navigating ADHD.
Tarryn’s message is clear: “Parents of kids with ADHD need more tools, more compassion, and more moments of feeling like they’re not alone.” With over 800,000 followers on Instagram and Facebook, Nurture ADHD has become a sanctuary for parents seeking empathy and practical strategies.
Empathy and Strategy: Turning Chaos into Calm
One of Nurture ADHD’s core beliefs is that ADHD parenting doesn’t have to be about constant conflict. By focusing on connection rather than control, Tarryn teaches parents how to co-regulate their child’s emotions, reduce power struggles, and create ADHD-friendly routines that foster calm. Her resources, ranging from online courses to social media content are designed to be approachable and actionable, ensuring parents don’t just learn about ADHD but can implement strategies that truly work.
Real Stories, Real Transformation
Every parent who turns to Nurture ADHD for help has a story of struggle and resilience. For many, the path to finding balance with ADHD is filled with moments of uncertainty and self-doubt. However, Tarryn’s platform reminds parents that these moments don’t define their worth. Through storytelling and community support, parents feel seen, understood, and equipped with tools that fit their real lives.
Tarryn shares, “You’re not failing. You’re parenting a child whose brain works differently and that takes a different kind of strength.” This message of validation resonates deeply with her audience, transforming Nurture ADHD into a lifeline for parents seeking both practical help and emotional support.
