$13.00

Parents are told they need to “pull back” to help their kids successfully launch. And yet, since kids with ADHD are typically 3-5 years behind their peers in some areas of executive function development, they require more scaffolding and support than their peers. Yes, you have permission to support (without enabling)! Listen and learn from the masters, Sue and (Dr.) Ned Hallowell, as they share their thoughts on finding the middle ground. They’ll help us move past the phrase “enabling” and uncover the most important components needed for moving our kids (eventually) into adulthood. Hint:  it has absolutely nothing to do with our kids!
