Finding calm in
everyday family life

School stress, packed schedules, emotional outbursts?

With practical experience in family support, early childhood education and schools, combined with a scientifically grounded perspective, I help families find more clarity, understanding and relief in everyday life.

Your everyday family life deserves more than crisis management

Every child brings strengths. Every family has resources. What is often missing is a clear view of those strengths and a grounded way to use them effectively in daily life.


I do not work with one size fits all solutions. I work together with you. Resource oriented, evidence informed and always close to what truly helps your family.

What Real Change Requires

When children and parents understand what is happening in the nervous system and the brain, the way they see themselves begins to change. Overwhelm turns into orientation. Understanding creates clarity. Clarity makes regulation possible. Regulation strengthens independence.

Belonging

Change needs safety. Together, we create a space where children feel seen, taken seriously and accepted.

Understanding

When children understand how thinking, feeling and acting are connected, inner clarity begins to grow and new ways of responding become possible.

Self-Efficacy

Children discover strategies that truly fit them. This helps them build trust in their own abilities.

How does family support work?

1. Initial call

You share, I listen. Together, we look at where things feel difficult and what could bring immediate relief.

2. Analysis and orientation

We make patterns visible without blame. This helps us see clearly where change can really begin.

3. Focus and starting point

A clear plan and the first concrete steps. Not theory that stays in a drawer, but something that works in real life tomorrow.

How I Work with Children with ADHD

One-to-One Support for Children

  • I work directly with children from around age 6 onwards. In a safe and structured setting, they are given space to grow in confidence and understanding.
  • Together, we explore how their brain, body and emotions interact, and develop strategies that are sustainable in daily life.

Parents as Part of the Process

  • Parents are an essential part of the journey. Through regular conversations and reflection, we examine family dynamics and develop practical, actionable steps.
  • This creates clarity, stability and lasting change within the family system.

Who I Work With

Children with ADHD

With or without a formal diagnosis. For children who think fast, feel deeply and need support in navigating daily life.

High-Performing or Gifted Children

Children with strong potential who may feel internal pressure or struggle within rigid systems.

Children with Intense Emotions

Impulsivity, emotional outbursts, withdrawal or sleep difficulties often signal inner overload rather than defiance.

Parents Seeking Understanding

Families who want to understand and strengthen their child – not “fix” them.

I know this everyday life from the inside

I am Julian Lehnhardt. For more than 15 years, I have supported children and families with clarity, strong relationships and without dramatizing what they are going through.

ADHD is not an abstract professional topic for me. It is part of my own story. That shapes my work: close, honest and grounded in real understanding of what families carry every day.

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.

Gudrun Rode

Julian ist ein ADHS-Coach, der die berühmten "drei Dinge auf einmal" auf sich vereint:​

Er hat aktuelles Fachwissen, er lebt selbst mit ADHS und kennt das Bildungssystem seit vielen Jahren aus erster Hand. All das verbindet er mit einer großen Portion Einfühlungsvermögen und ganz viel Humor.

Christina Jokilehto

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.

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.
