About this episode
In this episode, Mark Gregston, Courtney Lafleur and Wayne Shepherd explore how parents can better support teens with ADHD by adjusting expectations and parenting styles. They highlight the value of shorter conversations, academic flexibility and activities that match the teen's energy. While ADHD presents challenges, it can also bring strengths like creativity and verbal skills. Parents are encouraged to affirm these traits and avoid shame-based approaches.
Join Mark in Texas at our next Families in Crisis Conference (July 24-26), a three-day event that will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to guide your teenager back on the right path.
