I’ve heard good things about GoZen! from some of my families who gave it a try before seeking out therapy. This is a nice and free look at some of the principles. https://www.npr.org//how-to-help-your-kids-reframe-their-a
The medication question is probably one of the biggest ones I find myself working through on a weekly, if not daily, basis. I recently attended a wonderful and very helpful talk by Dr. Carolyn Lentzsch-Parcells, MD...a prescribing pediatrician with ADHD herself. I asked her if she had a version of this presentation that I could share with families and received the following. The initial portion covers the very important and damaging effect of stigma in receiving proper treatment, while Carolyn gives some of her "Why medication?" speech in the middle. There is never going to be just one option to help your child, but there are many ways to support what may be a "best" option. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38qpm6VKBFc&feature=youtu.be
Good list for first timers (in a club that I suspect will grow by next year) https://adayinourshoes.com/common-iep-meeting-questions/
Because I got 3 calls on this today alone, I figured it was worth a post. ADHD is so frequently masked, and therefore missed, in girls to the great detriment of sufferers who often don't realize the root cause of their symptoms until adulthood. It's not laziness, it's not oppositional defiant disorder, and it's not ineffective parenting...it's worth considering ADHD.
This is interesting and somewhat comforting (even if it doesn’t solve any of the issues) https://www.theatlantic.com//how-teens-handled-qua/616695/
