As the parent of a teen or tween we often feel frustrated (or even worried) about our kid's behavior. If they would just do what they're supposed to do - if they'd just listen - we wouldn't have any issues.

It's hard to imagine any of their behavior is actually due to the way we engage with them...the way we respond to their behavior. In fact, so many of the arguments and struggles we have with our teenagers could be remedied by modifying our own behavior.

Join me to learn some of the things we do that makes our teens' behavior worse and what to do about it.

ADHD is frustrating for parents, teachers, and teens and tweens themselves.

But the issues with school and homework often pale in comparison to the social and emotional fallout related to this disorder.

Not understanding all of the symptoms related to ADHD (and especially those that overlap with common mental health disorders) can lead to confusion and lots of conflict and disconnection with your teenager and cause issues with a proper diagnosis.

In this episode I'll address some of these lesser known symptoms to help you, parent your teen with ADHD with more empathy and understanding.

You do not want to tangle with a teen or tween over their devices (if you haven't noticed that yet). You also don't want to reach for the phone or game console every time your teen does something wrong or makes a mistake.

One issue a lot of us parents misunderstand is DISCIPLINE.

It's so much easier when they're little. But by the time you have a teen or tween, you'd better understand how to teach them skills for adulthood, without punishing them. If you don't, there's going to be a lot of drama.
