PARENTING TEENAGERS WITH ADD CAN BE EXTREMELY CHALLENGING!!
Parenting our teenage sons with ADD was probably the most humbling, yet rewarding, experience of my life! In spite of my so-called credentials as a teacher, school psychologist, mental health counselor, and lobbyist I found parenting our sons extremely challenging at times. When I wrote Teenagers with ADD, there were no books on the topic. I spent seven years researching common behaviors that teens with ADD exhibit and identifying which intervention strategies were most effective: (non-compliance, being late, school failure, sleep problems, suicide risk,speeding tickets,and occasionally brushes with the law). The good news is that our sons are young adults now. One is a college graduate, married, and gainfully employed; the other is presently attending college and is extremely skilled with computers. ADD runs in both our families, so we have had the advantage of seeing several family members cope successfully with ADD. Hopefully, other parents and professionals will learn from both our mistakes and our successes. My husband and I bring you a message of hope and optimism plus send our best wishes to each family and treatment professional who struggles with this condition!!
