SUMMARY
Heading back to school can bring up all the feelings. Maybe you feel relieved to get back to a more consistent schedule… and at the same time, you may be nervous about your child having a new teacher. One of the most challenging aspects of ADHD parenting is wondering, “how can I help my child at school when I’m not with them during the school day?”. In this episode, we are chatting about our favorite ways to communicate with your child’s teacher and educational team, so you can help your child with ADHD start the new school year on the right foot.
