#230: Your Middle Schooler is More Capable Than You Think

The middle school years can be tricky, especially when you're parenting a child with ADHD who wants more independence but still needs plenty of support. In this episode, we're joined by Sean Kane from Growth Mindset Parenting to learn how parents can help middle schoolers build independence, resilience, and problem-solving skills. Sean shares why our middle school ADHD kids are often more capable than we realize, how to stay steady when they push back, and how to give them opportunities to take ownership and collaborate while still holding important family boundaries.
