52. Over and Over Again . . . Parenting a Child with ADHD
Children with ADHD minds are often experienced as bright, adventurous, and creative. In contrast, parenting a child with ADHD can feel overwhelming, even burdensome at times, as ADHD can include everything from creativity to defiance. While outsiders may view the child as disobedient, out of control, or disrespectful; the invisibility of the disorder can lead to increased frustration in parenting for both the child and the parent.
This week’s guest expert, Angela Bonneville, LCSW, has extensive experience and knowledge as a clinician and a parent of a child with ADHD. Angela covers it all, from parenting tips to discipline. At the same time, she reminds listeners that it is not about making a child conform but rather about using resources and creating an environment where the child thrives and learns to succeed based on individual strengths. Angela shares ways to help children navigate a world that is not always friendly towards a neurodivergent child. Talking openly about this topic helps bring awareness, as well as autonomy and confidence for the child.
