Hello, I’m Julian Lehnhardt

I accompany children and families for part of their journey.
With care, experience and a clear focus on what truly matters.

My everyday work includes family guidance,
coaching and creative formats for children, parents and families in Wollerau,
the Höfe district and online.

My path

My journey with children began in 2005, at the age of twelve, as an assistant at a holiday camp. Since then, working with children and families has remained at the centre of my life.

Today, I support people in challenging situations – at home, in school settings and within teams. Always with a pedagogical perspective and a focus on everyday reality.

Living with ADHD – and working with it

ADHD is part of my life. It is what it is. What matters is how we deal with it. For me, that means clarity, creativity and focusing on what helps rather than on what is labelled as a problem. This perspective shapes my work with families, children and professionals.

What I offer

  • Family and parent guidance in everyday life and during challenging phases
  • Learning support, creative impulses and theatre-based pedagogical work for children
  • Guidance around ADHD and neurodivergent topics
  • Support for schools and teams that want to explore new approaches
  • An understanding of leadership perspectives when supporting employees with ADHD

Let’s talk

Every collaboration begins with genuine listening. I believe in development – and in the idea that every family has the right to find its own path.

Nach meinem ersten Zusammentreffen mit Julian sagte ich zu meiner Frau, wenn der junge Mann Geld für sein Business benötigt, in ihn können wir investieren.

Er wird sein Ding machen. Und das sage ich wirklich sehr selten. Mein durchweg positiver Eindruck von Julian entstand, weil ich selten einen so reflektierten jungen Mann erlebt habe. Nicht nur, dass Julian schon sehr viel praktisch erfahren und erlebt hat, er weiß seine Erfahrungen zu strukturieren, zu sortieren und mit Theorie und Wissen anzureichern. Was dabei herauskommt, ist eine geballte Kompetenz.

In seinem Spezialgebiet ADHS und Erziehung ist Julian für mich Benchmark. Julian kennt sich aber nicht nur gut aus, er kann sein Wissen auch in wertvolle Produkte und Angebote übersetzen. Damit können andere von seinem Wissen und seiner Erfahrung profitieren. Wenn ich ein Anliegen rund um das Thema Erziehung oder ADHS hätte, ich wüsste genau an wen ich mich wende: Julian wäre für mich die erste Wahl.

It is rare that you come across such an inspirational preschool leader and dedicated teacher like Julian!

As a parent representative I had the pleasure of working together with Julian for one year at the German School Nikolaus Kopernikus in Panama. He took on the enormous task of implementing the Reggio Emilia philosophy in the preschool and although external circumstances were challenging at times he largely succeeded thanks to his persistence and resourcefulness. Above all, Julian was able to transmit his passion for preschool teaching to his team and the larger school community. As a parent it was especially important to me that Julian always encouraged a strong and positive parent-school relationship.

Making the Inner Critic Your Advisor: Self-Love in Family Chaos That Actually Holds

You want to respond with patience. And then there's this broken glass on the kitchen floor. Juice everywhere. One child screams, the other freezes. Before you can think, you've raised your voice. The real pain often comes after: that inner voice that judges immediately, makes you small, stamps you as a "failure." This is exactly where it's decided whether you stay stable in everyday life or break inside. Self-love doesn't begin in quiet moments. It begins in chaos.

School Is Not a Training Camp: Why Many Children Function at School and Collapse Afterwards

“In school, the child is doing great.” A sentence often meant as a compliment. It describes a child who meets expectations: calm, focused, compliant, ready to perform. What it does not describe is the cost of this adaptation. Increasingly, a pattern is emerging that is rarely discussed in educational contexts: children who appear stable in school collapse outside that framework, at home, in the afternoon, or on weekends.
