Parenting ADHD with Annie Adjan

Beyond Nagging: ADHD Systems That Actually Work


Listen Later

Are you constantly reminding your teen to do their chores, finish homework, or just follow through—and it’s still not working? You’re not alone. In this episode, Certified ADHD Coach Annie Adjan explains why verbal reminders often fail and what to do instead.

We’ll cover:

  • Why ADHD teens resist verbal prompts (even when they want to succeed)

  • How individuation and delayed executive function collide in the teen years

  • What kind of routines and visual systems actually reduce conflict

  • 3 scaffolding tips to build independent task completion

  • How to use post-it notes, time-blocking, and visual calendars to make reminders stick

  • How to handle teens who insist on digital tools over physical systems

    Whether your teen is struggling to get through the school year or floundering in the unstructured days of summer, this episode will give you clear, compassionate strategies to replace the nagging—and see real progress.
