Why Is He Like This?! Parenting Boys with ADHD—What It Looks Like (and Feels Like) From the Inside Out
Saison 5 · Épisode 9
lundi 9 juin 2025 • Durée 11:42
Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley—an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist who specializes in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. This is the place where personal experience meets clinical expertise—because families don’t heal in isolation. They heal together.
If you’re parenting a boy with ADHD, you’ve likely asked yourself, “Why is he like this?!” Maybe you’ve been told he’s disrespectful, lazy, or doesn’t listen. Maybe you’ve tried reward charts, punishments, threats, and consequences—but nothing seems to stick. You’re not alone.
ADHD in boys often shows up as high energy, impulsivity, emotional outbursts, and what looks like defiance. But what’s really happening underneath is a brain that’s moving too fast, struggling with regulation, and desperately trying to keep up with a world that doesn’t always make sense to it.
Let’s get into what’s really going on—and what your son actually needs.

Unmasking ADHD in Girls: Understanding Their Unique Struggles!!!
Saison 5 · Épisode 8
lundi 9 juin 2025 • Durée 28:00
Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley—an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist and Parenting Strategist who specializes in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades.
This is the place where personal experience meets clinical expertise—because families don’t heal in isolation. They heal together.
If you’re parenting a daughter with ADHD, you might be surprised to learn just how often her symptoms are overlooked, misread, or misunderstood. Girls with ADHD are often people-pleasers, chronic perfectionists, and emotional shapeshifters. They’re expert maskers, which means they work hard to hide the chaos they feel inside.
They don’t always disrupt the classroom. Instead, they stare out the window. They don’t usually get labeled as “bad”—they’re labeled as “sensitive,” “anxious,” or “moody.” Because their behavior doesn’t look like typical hyperactivity, they’re often misdiagnosed—or missed altogether.
Girls with inattentive-type ADHD often internalize their symptoms. They may mask in public but unravel at home. They are more likely to be diagnosed with anxiety or depression—when ADHD is the root issue.

Help!! I Want To Pitch to the CEO.....Not the Receptionist: Sales Strategies for Successful Parenting!!
Saison 5 · Épisode 7
dimanche 8 juin 2025 • Durée 15:00
Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley—an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist who specializes in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. This podcast is where we turn therapeutic insight into parenting strategy—and help you build a home where peace isn’t just possible, it’s the default. Let’s dive in.
By Using Sales Psychology and Family Neuroscience to Time Your Parenting for Maximum Impact you will be able to Pitch to the CEO, Not the Receptionist: Here are some Sales Strategies for successful Emotional Parenting.
If your child isn’t listening, isn’t following through, or seems to “shut down” every time you try to correct them… you might be pitching to the wrong person.
In sales, if you pitch your product to the front desk receptionist, it doesn’t matter how perfect your offer is—the deal won’t close. You need to get to the decision-maker. The CEO. The one with authority, logic, and access to long-term planning.
In parenting, that CEO is your child’s prefrontal cortex the part of the brain responsible for decision-making, impulse control, working memory, and emotional regulation. But here’s the problem: when your child is upset, stressed, tired, or overstimulated? The CEO clocks out. And the amygdala—aka the brain’s emotional receptionist—takes over.

Raising a Man, Not a Dependent: 5 Core Life Lessons Fathers Need to Teach Their Sons!!
Saison 5 · Épisode 5

Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley—an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist who specializes in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and today, we’re talking about five foundational life skills every father must teach his son—not just to help him function, but to help him thrive.
Before we dive in, let’s pause to answer a foundational question:What is a Father—Psychologically Speaking? A father isn’t just a provider or protector. Psychologically, a father is a primary attachment figure who plays a central role in helping a child form their identity, internalize discipline, and navigate the world with autonomy. In developmental psychology, the father's role is often described as scaffolding—offering support and structure as a child climbs toward independence. When done right, this scaffolding supports the development of secure attachment, executive fun

I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. So what you hear today isn’t just clinical—it's lived experience, it’s layered, and it’s honest.
Today, I’m inviting you into a powerful, raw, and deeply teachable conversation.
You’ll be listening in as I talk with “Mark”—a divorced dad who’s raising two teenagers. He has a close bond with his daughter… but with his 15-year-old son, Lucas—he feels the connection slipping. He shared with me that his son struggles with staying focused in school and turning in his homework on time or remembering to do it.
Before we begin, please note: names and identifying details have been changed to protect privacy. This is a composite of real experiences from the families I’ve worked with, crafted into a conversation to offer support, insight, and tools that you can use in your own parenting journey.

“Your Child’s Brain Is the CEO—You’re the COO. Every ‘No’ Shapes their Executive Team
Saison 5 · Épisode 3

"Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley—an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. So what you hear today isn’t just clinical—it's lived experience, it’s layered, and it’s honest.
You probably haven’t thought of it this way before…
But I started wondering—what if parents began using the word “No” not as a shutdown, but as a tool for growth?
I kept thinking: How can I help parents see that saying “No” with intention isn’t mean… it’s actually life-changing?
Then it hit me, maybe the message just needs the right frame.
Something that makes them stop, reflect, and say, “Wait… what if that’s true?”
So I created this.
A new way to look at incorporating the word No.”A new way to lead.
I think it might shift something for you, too.
Think of your child’s brain as the CEO— which is still learning how to lead. And you? You’re the COO. The steady hand behind the scenes. The one who keeps the company running while the executive team matures.
Whether you’re in the South Bay-Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes, El Segundo or if you are anywhere in California, I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions to help you or your family find the calm, clarity, and connection you deserve.
