ADHD Medication 101: What Parents Need to Know

There’s little that instills more fear in parents than the idea of giving their child ADHD medication. That fear is built on a foundation of largely myths and fear-mongering, but it exists nonetheless. In this episode of the Parenting ADHD Podcast, I’m sharing the basics of ADHD medication, as well as nuances and little-known facts I’ve learned over the years. This is the information I desperately wish I’d had when starting and trialing ADHD medications. This is the information every parent should have before they fill the first prescription for their child.

Enjoy!
