Breaking the School Avoidance & Refusal Cycle
with Dana Baker-Williams, ADHD and Anxiety Coach for Parents, Teens & Young Adults
Dana Baker-Williams is an ADHD and Anxiety Coach who works with parents, teens, and young adults to move from conflict to connection. As the founder of Parenting in Real Life—and as a mom who has navigated ADHD and anxiety at home—Dana blends research, expertise, and lived experience to support families in the messy realities of parenting. She helps parents see behavior as valuable information about what their child is experiencing, rather than something to control or correct. By learning to interpret behavior this way, parents can respond with empathy, set expectations that truly fit their child’s skills, and create the structure kids need to succeed. Dana’s warm, relatable style offers both practical strategies and encouragement, helping families reduce stress, strengthen executive function skills, encourage independence and raise resilient kids who feel supported and understood.
