There is a theory that children with ADHD "mature slower." Is it true? The answer is a bit complicated.

Part of parenting a child with ADHD is truly recognizing that, while children with ADHD are amazing and bring so much creativity and life to the world, being “neurotypical” does mean that we have to rethink how we view development, growth, and more. There has been some discussion in the past tha...

There are two executive function challenges that can be especially frustrating for parents, as they tend to create combined challenges. These are "time blindness" (the inability to tell how much time has passed or how much time something will take) and task initiation (the inability to start a task).

It’s one thing to know that a child with ADHD can have difficulty concentrating, but it is quite...

Keeping a child busy with after school activities may seem like a good idea when a child has excess energy. But there are situations where you may want to stop and think if they're doing "too much"

If it seems like more parents are signing their kids up for after school activities, it is because they are. Parents now feel like the absolutely have to sign their kids up to do basketball, dance, tutoring, and any number of other after school activities to occupy their children’s time. Is this a...
