My guest today is Kristen McNeely, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Kristen serves as a Behavior Specialist in a local school district and runs a private practice where she supports parents of children navigating behavior challenges and anxiety.

I invited Kristen to the podcast to unpack a big topic: how parents can support children who have both ADHD and anxiety—a combination that often gets misunderstood or overlooked.

In this episode, we explore:

  • What anxiety looks like in a child with ADHD

  • Strategies to help anxious ADHD kids start and complete tasks

  • How to support academic demands without increasing anxiety

  • What to do when your school district isn’t offering support

  • How to navigate social-emotional challenges in school

  • What to do when school refusal starts showing up

  • How to build emotional coping skills and motivation

  • Kristen’s words of wisdom for parenting through it all
