ADHD in teens and tweens is much more complicated than you may understand. Yes, it can have a major impact on your teenager’s ability to focus and do their schoolwork, but the social and emotional fallout can be even more problematic.

Today I’ll talk about how ADHD is not only a skills-based issue, but one that causes additional stress in your teenager’s daily life, affects their ability to regulate both their negative and positive emotions, causes them to become bored more easily that other teens, makes them more likely to engage in risky behaviors, makes it harder for them to get proper sleep, and more sensitive to rejection.

If you have a teen or tween with ADHD, your life is frustrating, but your teenager needs you to understand how very frustrating it is for them as well.
