You have ADHD, diagnosed or not, and you are a parent. Organising daily life, staying patient and managing homework can be difficult. Yet your experience is also a strength. Here is how to support your child in your own way. Your own experience can become a strength for the whole family.
As ADHD has a strong genetic component, it is common for a parent of a child with ADHD to be affected too. Some discover it when their child is diagnosed. This late diagnosis can bring relief.
You will find more details in the article ADHD: is it hereditary.
You understand from the inside what your child is going through: the difficulty concentrating, the impulsivity, the frustration. This understanding is valuable. You also know that it is possible to move forward with ADHD.
Our article Explaining ADHD to your child complements this advice.
