Parenting Children with ADHD
Why should I consider parent training?
Kids with ADHD benefit from direct tools and regular connection to improve their executive functioning skills. Parent training gives parents the techniques, strategies and confidence to empower their children and teens for success at home and school.
How can I best parent my ADHD child?
What kids with ADHD need most is a parent who understands the way their brain works and accepts for their complexity, and believes in their strengths and possibilities.
If my child has extra time and other accommodations at school, isn’t that cheating?
Recognition of attention problems as a disability allows us to make specific and evidence based accommodations specific to that child’s impairments. All accommodations are “fair” when they give a child the opportunity to show what they have been able to learn.

ADHD is caused by bad parenting: MYTH!
