How Parents Can Cultivate Acceptance

1. Educate Yourself
• Learn about ADHD as a neurodevelopmental disorder.
• Understand that ADHD is highly genetic, often present in family
members, and affects brain function related to planning, focus, and
emotional regulation.
2. Adopt a Growth Mindset
• View ADHD symptoms as challenges to manage, not flaws in your child’s character.
• Focus on skill-building and progress, not perfection.
3. Separate the Behavior from the Child
• Recognize that difficult behaviors are symptoms of ADHD, not personal attacks or intentional defiance.
• Example: When your child forgets their homework, it’s an issue with memory and task management, not laziness.
