Where Does the Teen End and ADHD Begin?
Resources for Raising a Teen with ADHD

The Garden Room, Liston Court, Marlow

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I know they’re trying, but I still don’t understand why everything feels so hard,” this workshop is for you.
Parenting a teenager with ADHD can leave you constantly second guessing yourself.
Why are we arguing about everything? Why are they withdrawing? Why do I have to remind them about everything? Why do I feel like I’m their second brain? And how do I support them without completely exhausting myself?
ADHD affects much more than attention. It can impact motivation, executive function, emotional regulation, relationships, confidence and the ability to manage everyday life.
And then there’s adolescence.
So where does the teen end and ADHD begin?
In this practical, interactive workshop, Clare Cogan and Vicki Clark will help you understand what’s happening beneath the behaviours you’re seeing and explore practical ways to support your teenager without taking everything on yourself.
We’ll explore:
• Arguments, conflict and communication
• Withdrawal and emotional disconnection
• Executive function and the reality of being your teen’s second brain
• Motivation and why “just do it” rarely works
• The fear of school refusal and what sits underneath it
• Parenting overwhelm and how to support your teen without losing yourself
• How typical teenage development and ADHD interact
• Practical strategies you can start using straight away
You won’t leave with all the answers. But you will leave with a clearer understanding of your teenager, practical resources to try and a different way of looking at the challenges you’re facing.
Because when you understand what’s happening beneath the behaviour, it becomes much easier to know what to do next.
Who is this workshop for?
Parents and carers of teenagers with ADHD, or those who are exploring an ADHD diagnosis.
