ADHD SUPPORT FOR TWEENS + TEENS
ADHD support works better when your teen is part of the plan
ADHD in older kids is not just about focus. It is about the whole system.
Teen-Centered ADHD Supports
Helps families build support with the teen, not just around the teen, because buy-in matters for follow-through.
Sleep, Food, Movement, and Environment
Covers practical supports like phone-out-of-bedroom routines, protein at breakfast, daily movement, body doubling, study setup, and school accommodations.
Medication and Treatment Conversations
Explains lifestyle-first, medication, and combined treatment options while centering the teen’s voice in the decision-making process.
Pediatrician Questions
Includes questions about labs, sleep disorders, co-occurring anxiety/depression/autism/learning differences, stimulant safety, side effects, caffeine, growth, appetite, and blood pressure.
First 30-Day Plan
A practical starting plan focused on sleep, breakfast, movement, school supports, and teen ownership instead of trying to fix everything at once.
