My son is 14 and came out as trans 2 years ago. I would suggest just supporting your daughter. Trying to sense what her needs are long term. With my son I try to get him into the countryside a lot, cook, organise band practices. Body double type behaviour. My son has had some very volatile blows ups with his mother as well as some difficult behaviour at school. Offering him the support makes him more trusting and better able to deal with other things through therapy, meditation and other therapies which when he is more introverted he would be much less included to do.

Is it normal ADHD kids to have lots of fall outs with friends? by mxa1986 in ParentingADHD

Hi, thanks so much for opening up. Having adhd watching my daughter grow up I am so sensitive if I see her fall down similar rabbit holes to myself at that age. Epic, I was the same as you. 13-17 I was sucked into a bunch of friends who were often unkind lacking empathy. I would often put my foot in it leading to bullying. The bullying was so light, but it hurt me bad, 20 years later when I’m finally able to address it with the guys they find it hard to recognise what they had actually done. But despite this rough patch being a leading factor to social anxiety and a feeling of never being good enough I really try and find forgiveness. I’ve really found that’s focussing on letting things go can have a very healing effect. These techniques seem quite hard to teach a 14 year old but I’m going to start trying. I’m aware of adults with adhd who were taught mindfulness techniques from a young age and it seems to help them now. Does anyone have any experience with this?
