I am listening to your 1st podcast. Its amazing. I have 2 kids out of 3 with adhd. My 14 year old girl is so hard at the moment. With going through the teenage hormones adh and she also has a learning difficulty with a IQ of 50. She believes she is 18 years old and wants attention from boys now too. She causes so many arguments at home and her 5 year old brother sees and hears things like she hates us and hope she dies.
Any advise please.
Glad you’re here! First, keep listening to the podcast… there are so many episodes that will help you! It can be really tough to get a child with intellectual disability to understand the nuance of relationships. She sees her peers getting into boys so she is trying to emulate that without the proper understanding that should go with it. It sounds like she also struggles with emotional regulation and communication. Work with her on labeling and processing feelings in a more appropriate manner.
Yes she suffers with the emotional regulation and sees a therapist but doesn’t seem to be doing much. I just feel like there is something more with her
