We know many young people experience ADHD, and we celebrate neurodiversity! Whether you’re a teen navigating ADHD or a caregiver looking for support, you’re not alone.

Tips for Parents & Caregivers

1. Structure with Flexibility

• Use visual timetables 📅 or apps like Brili for routines.
• Break tasks into “tiny steps” (e.g., “Put on shoes” vs. “Get ready”).

2. Channel the Energy

• Try short bursts of physical activity (jumping jacks, dance breaks) before homework.
• Fidget toys ≠ distractions, they’re focus tools.

3. Positive Reinforcement

• Praise effort over results (“You worked so hard on that!”).
• Avoid punitive measures for forgetfulness—problem-solve together.

4. Self-Care for You

• Connect with other ADHD parents (see groups in links below).
• Tag-team with co-caregivers to avoid burnout.

Remember: ADHD isn’t a “problem to fix”—it’s a different way of thinking. Let’s work with it, not against it.
