10 Tips For Parents of Children With ADHD

“I always recommend that parents keep in fairly frequent contact with teachers to see how their child is managing in school - well before the first regularly scheduled parent-teacher conference,” said Andrea Stephenson, a clinical psychologist who works with children who have ADHD.

“I often tell parents who suspect ADHD in their children to talk to teachers even before school starts if possible. If a teacher knows that there may be a problem, they can put strategies in place in the classroom to help the student start out the year being successful. It is very difficult to come back and make up time and teaching if problems drag on for too long.”
