In Case You Missed It: Top 5 Resources for Parents with ADHD or Parents of Children with ADHD

As 2022 comes to a close, I’m highlighting some of my favorite resources, blog posts, and guides for parents of kids with ADHD and adults with ADHD themselves.

1. Favorite Free Resource

This year, I created a free guide for parents of teenagers with ADHD.

This is one of my favorite resources I’ve created so far because there aren’t enough resources for parents of teens with ADHD.

Within the guide, you’ll find resources and tips for supporting your teen with emotion regulation, organization, and time management.

2. Favorite Child ADHD Product

One of the best products I’ve invested in this year for my private practice and recommended to parents of kids (6-14) is the Mightier Emotion Regulation tool.

As someone that values new tools that have research behind their support, Mightier has been shown to reduce emotional outbursts, anger, and oppositionality.

I use this with children in my private practice to teach them coping skills in a fun way that will have lasting effects at home.

You can use my code ‘DRCARRIE’ for 10% off your purchase.

3. Favorite Teen ADHD Product

Many parents have shared that they want to help prepare their teens for the college admissions process. There is a lot to keep track of and it can be difficult to motivate teens with ADHD.

My favorite product for teens with ADHD applying to college is by Mindset College Collective.

Their digital planner helps track application deadlines and other important information that goes into the college application process.

4. Favorite Blog Post

In a collaboration with my colleague and friend, Dr. Patrick Lacount, who specializes in adult ADHD, we broke down some strategies for managing stress as an adult with ADHD.

It can be tough to be a parent with ADHD while also parenting your child with ADHD, so this blog post shares some skills that may be helpful.

5. Favorite Social Media Post

This post on ADHD parental burnout is one of my favorites because it addresses the stress and burnout that many parents with ADHD feel.

It talks about how to manage your thoughts when you are feeling guilty or overwhelmed as an ADHD parent.

Thank you all for following along with me in 2022! Looking forward to continuing to share ADHD tips in 2023.
