Just One Thing for Parents with Dr Bettina Hohnen

Episode 51 - Must-Have Moments: How to Help Children with ADHD Thrive Across Their Lifespan


Listen Later

Welcome to this special Must-Have Moments episode for ADHD Awareness Month. In this compilation, Dr Bettina Hohnen revisits highlights from four expert conversations exploring ADHD and executive function through different stages of development — from early childhood right through to young adulthood. We begin with Dr Laurie Faith, who explains what executive functions are, how they develop, and why joy and connection are essential for helping children's brains grow. Then Dr Peg Dawson shares her "perfect intervention" — a simple, sustainable way to strengthen executive skills in teenagers. Next, Linda Phillips guides us through how to support neurodivergent students as they transition to university — when independence increases but challenges may still remain. And finally, Dr Jo Steer offers practical strategies for parents waiting for an ADHD assessment, focusing on meeting a child's needs right now rather than waiting for a diagnosis. Together, these must-hear moments offer a developmental roadmap and a wealth of practical insights to help parents understand, support, and empower their children with ADHD and executive function differences. Whether your child is just starting school, preparing for exams, or beginning university life, this episode will help you see the strengths behind the struggles — and remind you that small, consistent steps make a real difference.
