SUMMARY
Is your child resistant to help, whether it’s accommodations at school, therapy, or medication for their ADHD? In this episode, we dive into why kids often struggle to accept support and how parents can foster trust and open communication. Our goal is to help your child feel empowered, not overwhelmed, when it comes to getting the help they need. This conversation is packed with tools to navigate resistance while strengthening your connection with your child.
