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.

AFFILIATE INFORMATION

We talk a lot about emotionally healthy kids, and sleep is a huge part of that! That is why we LOVE Zenimal. When bedtime rolls around, we use this screen-free meditation tool for all our kids (really, we do!). It’s fantastic for kids who are feeling anxious or need a little help calming their busy body before bed. The best part? Each meditation ends with the most beautiful message: “You’re a good kid!” Use our code: TCC for a discount.
