Opportunity Gap: For Families Navigating Special Education How I’d parent my ADHD kids differently
Parenting a child with ADHD can feel like a constant balancing act — juggling patience, understanding, and supporting your child’s unique needs. It often leads to questions like, Am I doing enough? What can I do better?
In this episode, we talk with Dr. Larry Jones, a retired pediatrician and father of sons with ADHD. Listen as Dr. Larry reflects on:
- Navigating his own ADHD diagnosis
- What he’s learned about raising kids with ADHD
- And what he might have done differently in hindsight
