SUMMARY

We share a lot about raising kids with ADHD, but how does parenting change as our children grow up? Parenting ADHD tweens and teens presents new challenges. From supporting your child as they strive for independence to helping them discover their own solutions when they encounter problems, navigating each new season takes time. In reality, we think the strategy takes a big shift but connection is still the key! In this episode, Dr. Carrie Jackson shares her top tips for parenting tweens and teens with ADHD.
