Episode 17: The Mental Load of Parenting ADHD

In this episode, Dr. Jana and Beth discuss the common diagnosis of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder that many adopted children can experience. They explain the importance of seeing your child's needs clearly and defining them appropriately, understanding ADHD and how it affects the brain, and slowing down enough to consider the differences in how your child may interact with the world. Strategies to manage the mental load of parenting are discussed as well as ways to best support your child with ADHD.
