Parents of children with ADHD hear a lot about what their child struggles with: These are many of the symptoms that lead to an ADHD diagnosis in the first place, and what children with ADHD often need to work on in order to prepare for adult life. But ADHD doesn’t always have to be about […]

Parents of children with ADHD often enter the school system without a clear picture of what their child is legally entitled to. They attend meetings, receive documents they’re expected to sign, and sit across from tables of school district administrators — frequently without knowing what they can push back on, what they can request, or

Picking after school activities for a child with ADHD isn’t the same calculation it is for other kids. The standard advice — try a sport, take music lessons, join a club — can work well, or it can be a poor fit that produces frustration on all sides. The difference usually comes down to how

ADHD in girls is diagnosed less often, identified later, and discussed far less than ADHD in boys. The reasons for that gap are well-documented — girls tend to present with inattentive symptoms rather than hyperactive ones, they’re more likely to mask their difficulties, and the research base for decades was built almost entirely on male

Most parents who have a child with ADHD and executive dysfunction are not indifferent. They’re not lazy in their understanding, and they’re not unwilling to learn.

That version of bullying is real, but it’s not the only one — and for kids with ADHD, it can sometimes be *accidental* bullying you

Your son can’t sit through ten minutes of homework. He forgets what he walked into a room to get. He loses the thread of a conversation before it’s finished. Take him outside with a baseball, though, and he’s locked in — throwing, catching, throwing again — for an hour or two, without a single reminder

Finding support for a child with ADHD has never been easier in terms of options — and never harder in terms of knowing which options are actually worth pursuing. Online ADHD coaching programs have expanded significantly, and the range of what’s available now stretches from highly structured, professionally led programs to one-size-fits-all video courses with

Last week, we talked a little more about ADHD and adulthood. Getting diagnosed with ADHD as an adult is its own kind of turning point. The years of struggling to keep up, the self-criticism, the coping strategies that worked until they didn’t — all of it starts to make sense in a new way. But
