A step-by-step system to help you stay calm, support your ADHD child through big emotions, and build real regulation skills that last.

I'm Tarryn - Occupational Therapist, Mom to a Teen with ADHD, and Trusted by Over 1 Million Parents
For over 10 years, I’ve specialized in helping families navigate ADHD. But it wasn’t until my own daughter Gracie was diagnosed at 11 that I truly understood what you’re going through.
Since then:
✅ 1,804 families have transformed their homes with Taming Big Emotions

✅ Over 1 million parents follow me across Instagram and Facebook
✅ Featured on leading ADHD parenting podcasts and summits
I’ve been where you are. And I know exactly how to help.
Why Kids With ADHD Struggle With Emotions
Kids with ADHD feel emotions 3x more intensely than other kids.
Their brains process feelings faster - but struggle to calm down slower.
That's not defiance. That's neurobiology.
And once you understand what's really happening, you can finally help them regulate.

How Taming Big Emotions Can Transform Your Family
When My Daughter Was Diagnosed, I Felt Completely Overwhelmed - Even as an OT
When Gracie was diagnosed with ADHD at 11 years old, I thought I’d be prepared.
I’m an Occupational Therapist. I’d worked with kids with ADHD for over 10 years.
But nothing prepared me for the reality of parenting one.
Small things would trigger huge meltdowns. She’d cry with frustration when she couldn’t find something. The emotions seemed to come out of nowhere.
I felt helpless- just like you probably do right now.
As I worked with more parents, I realized emotional regulation was the #1 thing families struggled with.
So I created Taming Big Emotions – not only to support Gracie, but to help other parents just like me.
Now, at 15, everything has changed.
Gracie looks thoroughly for things before getting upset. She asks for help. She talks about how she’s feeling and names her emotions.
Meltdowns are few and far between.
And I want the same transformation for your family.

A bit of background
My name is Tarryn Poulton - an Occupational Therapist and mom to a daughter with ADHD.
I’ve spent over a decade helping families navigate the everyday challenges that come with ADHD — at school, at home, and everywhere in between. I’m trained in sensory integration and executive function, which means I understand how those “big emotions” often have deeper roots in a child’s nervous system and thinking skills.
But honestly? What makes the biggest difference is that I’m living this too.
I know what it’s like to feel completely overwhelmed by your child’s outbursts — and to wonder if anything will actually work. I also know how powerful it is when you do find tools that help… tools that bring more calm, connection, and confidence to your family.
That’s exactly why I created Taming Big Emotions. It’s packed with the strategies I’ve seen work — both in my professional work and in my own home. And it’s here to support you as you support your child.
