The Top Five Podcasts for Parents of Children with ADHD

The Top Five Podcasts for Parents of Children with ADHD Books can be enormously helpful when it comes to learning new strategies for parenting a child with ADHD. While everyone wishes they always had the time and patience to sit down and read, most parents need something that can fit easily into their busy schedules. Podcasts, with episodes lasting 30-40 minutes, can fit into a busy lifestyle and allow you to multitask when you listen while youre driving, getting things done around the house, or exercising. Here are the top five podcasts that I recommend for parents of kids with ADHD. Parenting Your Challenging Child Presented by Dr. Ross Green, developer of the Collaborative and Proactive Solutions approach to parenting and author of The Explosive Child, this podcast provides practical tools based on the Collaborative and Proactive Solutions approach.

Real questions from real parents with real solutions. What could be more helpful than this?
