Hi, I'm Olivia Tanner Greene – mom, writer, researcher, and fellow traveler on the parenting journey.
My story began when my first child started showing signs that something was different. Later came diagnoses of ADHD, anxiety and related conditions for both my children, launching me into what has become over a decade of diving into understanding neurodivergence – not just academically, but in the challenges of daily life.
Truth be told, I never planned to become an expert in this field. But as any parent of neurodivergent children knows, you quickly learn that standard parenting approaches fall short. So I immersed myself in everything from Positive Parenting to cognitive behavioral therapy, desperate to find strategies that actually worked for our family.
The transformation in our home didn't happen overnight, but gradually, we found our way to a place where challenges became manageable and joy became more abundant. The practical tools we discovered made such a difference that I couldn't keep them to myself.
That's why I write – to share what I've learned through both research and lived experience, to translate complex concepts into actionable strategies, and most importantly, to let other parents know that they aren't alone.
When I'm not reading with a cat on my lap, you'll find me exploring new places with my family, collecting experiences, and constantly learning. These adventures not only bring us closer as a family but provide the fresh perspectives that enrich my work.
My greatest hope is that through my books and training programs, I can help make your parenting journey a little easier and a lot more fulfilling than mine was in those early, uncertain times.
