Bundle enrolment open
Exhausted. On edge.
Wondering if you’re doing any of this right.
You don’t need more patience. You need to know exactly what to do when your ADHD child falls apart.
Two minutes from Tarryn
Taming Big Emotions is an online course for parents of ADHD kids aged 4–12, from paediatric OT Tarryn Poulton. Short lessons and real scripts for the moments that fall apart.
First 300 families only. Then the bundle is gone.

In your words
We asked parents what it’s really like. Hundreds answered. Most said the same thing.
Not “challenging”. Not “a journey”. This is what they actually wrote:
Real responses from parents in our community
Eggshells, from the moment they wake.
Meltdown or manners? You don’t know until it happens, so you’re on high alert all day and it never switches off.
Calm is the advice. Nobody shows you how.
Everyone says stay calm. Nobody says how, when they’re screaming “I hate you” for the third time today.
Every single thing is a battle.
Bedtime, homework, shoes, siblings. You can’t remember a day without tears, and it’s straining your marriage too.
Exhausted, and feeling like you’re failing.
Drained by the end of every day, then guilty for feeling drained by a child you love this much.
Before anything else - hear this
You’re not failing.
You’ve been handed a regulation problem
and told it’s a behaviour problem.
ADHD brains have significantly reduced capacity to regulate emotion. That’s not weakness - it’s neurology. Consequences, reasoning and “just staying calm” don’t reach a dysregulated nervous system. That’s why everything you’ve tried feels like it bounces off.
And here’s the part nobody says out loud: you can’t co-regulate from an empty tank. Your own regulation isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s step one. Once you have the right tools for both of you, everything changes. Not eventually. Quickly.
What this gives you
Not just understanding. Tools for actual moments.
Built around the moments that actually happen, in short pieces you can use when you’re stressed, tired and in the thick of it.
Co-regulate when emotions spike
Exactly what to do in the first 60 seconds - before it escalates. Including how to keep yourself steady while you do it.
De-escalate before things spiral
Read warning signs and intervene earlier - with language that actually lands. Fewer battles, because you see them coming.
Rebuild trust after meltdowns
A repair process that restores connection - without lectures or silence. For the days you lost it too.
Build calmer days for good
A regulation plan that grows your child’s emotional independence over time - so you’re not the only one holding it together.
Two minutes from Tarryn
Hear it directly from Tarryn.
Why your child’s brain makes emotions so intense, and what actually helps.
Imagine what 30 days from now
could look like.
You don’t need to eliminate meltdowns entirely. You can respond in a way that shortens them, repairs connection faster, and genuinely reduces their frequency over time.
Every day runs on the meltdown radar.
- Walking on eggshells from the moment they wake up.
- Losing your patience - then hating yourself for it.
- Every single interaction a crapshoot.
- Relationship damage that lingers for hours. Sometimes days.
- Above-average effort for below-average outcomes.
- Feeling like a bad parent - and like nobody believes how hard it is.
The storm still comes. You know what to do.
- Know exactly what to do in the first 60 seconds.
- Stay anchored - even when they can’t - because you have a plan for you too.
- See escalation coming and step in earlier. Fewer battles, not just shorter ones.
- A repair process that actually rebuilds connection.
- Parenting that feels intentional, not crisis-driven.
- Actually liking your child again - not just loving them.
Your guide - hi, I’m Tarryn Poulton
I’m in the trenches with you.
I’m not just an OT who studied this - I’m a Mom to a daughter with ADHD who has lived these exact moments at home. The meltdowns. The eggshells. The losing my patience and lying awake afterwards feeling like the worst mother alive.
Over 10 years specialising in ADHD families, and more than a million parents follow me because I give them what actually works - not what looks good in a textbook. This course is what I wish I’d had on day one.
If you’re exhausted, on edge, and wondering if you’re doing any of this right - I’ve been there. This is for you.

What changes
Everything you need. Nothing overwhelming.
Eight shifts, in the order they need to happen. Self-paced, and built for parents who are already running on empty.
A different way of seeing your child, from day one.
You stop seeing bad behaviour and start seeing a nervous system that’s overwhelmed. And you get quick wins to use at the very next meltdown, so the relief starts the night you join.
You become the calm they borrow.
Instead of matching their storm, you know how to steady yourself first, step in without escalating, and repair afterwards without the guilt spiral.
The meltdowns finally make sense.
You understand why their brain feels everything so intensely, spot the triggers that keep showing up, and stop measuring progress against a bar that was never fair.
Your child starts to notice before they explode.
They learn to read their own body cues and name what they feel, with a two-minute daily check-in that catches the build-up early.
They have tools that actually work for their brain.
Not a generic list. Strategies chosen for your child’s nervous system, in a toolbox they’ll reach for themselves.
Home stops feeling like a battleground.
Routine and consistency that lower the baseline, a family culture where regulation is normal, and the felt safety that makes everything else land.
The storm comes. You know exactly what to do.
De-escalation that reaches a dysregulated brain, redirecting and reframing in the moment, and a way to reflect afterwards so the next one is shorter.
They start doing it without you.
From co-regulation to independence. You let go of control without letting go of support, and raise a teen who can handle big feelings on their own.
A plan that’s yours, and grows with them.
When something isn’t working you know what to adjust, and you leave with a personalised action plan, not a one-size-fits-all system.

Is this right for you?
This course was built specifically for parents who…
✓ This is for you
- Your child has ADHD (diagnosed or suspected)
- Meltdowns, arguing and big reactions are a regular part of life
- You feel like you’re walking on eggshells, always braced for the next one
- You’ve lost your patience more times than you’d admit - and you hate that
- You’re exhausted and want tools you can use tonight, not theory
- You feel judged, alone, or like nobody believes how hard this really is
✗ This probably isn’t for you
- You want a one-size-fits-all discipline system
- You want a quick fix without any effort on your part
- You’re hoping to “fix” your child rather than support them
- Your child’s struggles are driven by a different condition
Questions?
Here are the answers.
I’m so exhausted I can’t take on one more thing. Is this going to be more work?
No - it’s designed for the parent who has nothing left. The quick wins at the very start give you something to do at the next meltdown. That’s it. You don’t need to finish the course to feel the difference. Most parents use the first tool the same day.
I lose my own temper. Will this help me, not just my child?
Yes - and this is the part most programs skip. Co-regulation only works when there’s a regulated adult in the room, so the course gives you a plan for your own nervous system first. Not “just stay calm”. An actual method for the moment you feel yourself about to lose it.
How much time will this take?
Most lessons are under 10 minutes, and the whole course is about four hours. Completely self-paced. Start with the most urgent module and come back to the rest. Most parents find the tools usable within the first sitting.
My child doesn’t have a diagnosis yet. Will it still help?
Yes. If you’re seeing emotional dysregulation and big reactions, the tools apply. A diagnosis doesn’t change what works in the moment.
I’ve tried so many things. What makes this different?
Most approaches treat outbursts as behaviour to manage. This addresses the dysregulated nervous system underneath - that’s an OT lens and it completely changes what you do. Not better consequences. Co-regulation first. If everything you’ve tried has felt like it bounces off, this is why.
What age is this designed for?
Designed for ages 4 to 12. The principles are grounded in neuroscience and adapt across the age range. Many parents of teens have found the framework useful too.
What exactly is included in The Taming Big Emotions Bundle?
The full Taming Big Emotions course at its lowest price of the year, plus the School Survival Guide and When Everything Feels like Rejection (The RSD Toolkit) included free, plus both bonuses - the Emotional Regulation Toolkit and the Emotion Coaching Scripts.
The bundle is limited to the first 300 families. After that, the two free products come off and the course returns to full price.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes - 30 days, no questions. Try the entire course. If you don’t feel like you have tools you can genuinely use, email us and we’ll refund everything. We stand behind this completely.
Is this for me if I have ADHD myself?
Absolutely - this was built with ADHD parents in mind. Short, focused lessons. Printable tools. Simple portal. No overwhelm. Jump straight to what you need most, right now.
The next meltdown is coming.
This time, you’ll know what to do.
You’re exhausted. You’ve been trying. The problem was never your effort - it was never having a plan. Get one tonight, and the School Survival Guide and RSD Toolkit come with you free while the bundle lasts.
