The ADHD Kids Can Thrive Podcast

The Vital Role of Parents and Families for an ADHD child


Listen Later

My guest is Kayvon Afsarifard , a clinical team leader at TeamWonder.org.  This insightful discussion dives into how ADHD affects not only the individual but the whole family system, emphasizing the crucial role parents and families play when a child is dealing with ADHD. Kayvon shares effective strategies on how parents can keep their child focused and organized, discussing developmental stages and ADHD symptoms. He urges parents to adjust their parenting techniques as their children grow and highlights the importance of teaching them self-reliance and independent decision-making skills.

TeamWonder.org offers programs that include a continuum of youth and parent coaching combined with family therapy that is customized to families' needs. We work with a wide spectrum of behavioral and emotional challenges, including struggles with anxiety, depression, failure to launch, school refusal, learning and social differences, ADHD, ASD, executive function challenges, self-harm, suicidality, gender identity, and adoption. We support relationship healing in wounded families and help teens and young adults reach goals in school, vocation, personal growth, and community engagement.
