The Empathy Playbook for Parents

Many children with ADHD endure misunderstanding, criticism, or unfair treatment from family members, teachers, siblings, and/or peers who don’t fully grasp the roots of their behaviors. These experiences can leave kids feeling discouraged, isolated, or “less than.”

As a parent, it’s tough to know how to talk with your child about ADHD — and how others may respond to it. “The Empathy Playbook for Parents” will provide practical scripts and advice for having honest, compassionate conversations about ADHD without being defeatist, while also helping your child handle tricky relationships they cannot avoid. You will also learn how to navigate negativity toward your child from adults in their lives. Together, we’ll explore how to model empathy, strengthen resilience, and strategize solutions for difficult conversations.

In this webinar, Dr. Sharon Saline will explain how to:

• Talk with your child about ADHD in realistic, supportive, and empowering ways
• Help your child navigate unfair treatment from family members, teachers, and peers.
• Teach your child how to establish boundaries, self-advocate, and protect their self-esteem in difficult relationships.
• Engage in productive conversations with other adults who do not understand ADHD and its effect on your child’s behavior and performance.
