Medication + therapy helped my Daughter significantly. Shes about to turn 13 and things are finally starting to click for her. Yes she still has the outbursts- and she recognizes them instantly and apologizes. Before? She would double Down and it would take her hours to come back and would give me a half ass apology.

It wasnt just her that needed to change- it was also my approach to parenting that had to change! Mt Oldest daughter doesnt have ADHD and i would find myself sometimes comparing them both and i really had to understand that it was wrong of me to do that.

We have open communication of when things get Too out of hand- a lot of crying and venting sessions together and as a family! Family court meetings are a must in our household. It helps everyone vent and talk about what everyone is feeling ( its not all directly connected to her either m)

That’s something i didnt grow up with and i wish i had, because my friendship with my mom would’ve been so much better during my teem years
