How Parent Involvement Can Help Your ADHD Child Thrive at School

Épisode 38

mardi 29 septembre 2026 • Durée 18:04

As parents, we have a powerful influence on how our children experience school and learning—even as they get older and become more independent.

In this episode of Parent Your ADHD Child with Confidence!, Jenny talks about why parent involvement still matters for children with ADHD and other neurodivergent learners, and how to stay connected without taking over.

Parent involvement isn’t about monitoring every grade or managing every assignment. It’s about showing genuine interest in your child’s learning, communicating with teachers, creating supportive routines at home, and helping your child gradually build the confidence and self-advocacy skills they need to become more independent.

Jenny also shares practical ways parents can stay involved throughout the elementary, middle, and high school years—even when volunteering in the classroom is no longer an option.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why your attitude toward school and learning can influence your child
Why parent involvement is about much more than grades
How staying connected to school can help children feel supported and valued
Why communication between parents and teachers is so important
How to share struggles teachers may not see happening at home
Ways to help older children advocate and communicate with teachers themselves
How to create a supportive homework and learning environment
Why routines and structure can make schoolwork feel more manageable
Simple ways to stay involved in your child’s school community as they get older

The goal isn’t to do school for your child. It’s to create a supportive foundation that helps them build confidence, independence, and a healthier relationship with learning.

IEP Advocacy: When Parents Should Bring in a Special Education Advocate or Attorney with Richard Isaacs

Épisode 37

mardi 22 septembre 2026 • Durée 28:20

Navigating an IEP can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re not sure whether your child is actually getting the support they need.

When should you bring in a special education advocate?

When might you need an attorney?

And does bringing outside support into an IEP meeting automatically make things adversarial?

In this episode of Parent Your ADHD Child with Confidence!, Jenny talks with Richard Isaacs, owner of California Special Needs Law Group, about how families can advocate more confidently within the special education system.

Richard breaks down the difference between an advocate and an attorney, explains what happens when families need to move beyond the standard IEP process, and shares why parents should not necessarily wait until their child is in crisis before asking for help.

You’ll learn:

The difference between a special education advocate and attorney
Why advocates can be helpful even when things are going relatively well
What parents should monitor after an IEP meeting
Why services on paper do not always equal effective intervention
How assessments help clarify a student’s needs
What compensatory education can mean
Why special education disputes may take months to resolve
How collaboration can remain part of strong advocacy
When it may be time to seek outside support

Richard also shares powerful stories of students whose educational paths changed dramatically once their needs were properly understood and supported.

The biggest takeaway?

You do not have to navigate the IEP process by yourself.

Asking questions early can help you better understand your child’s rights, needs, and options.

Why Your Teen With ADHD “Doesn’t Care” About School—and What Actually Builds Motivation

Épisode 36

mardi 15 septembre 2026 • Durée 15:16

Does your teen with ADHD seem like they simply don’t care about school?

Maybe they’re missing assignments, settling for lower grades than they’re capable of, procrastinating until the last minute, or shrugging and saying, “Whatever.”

It’s easy to interpret that behavior as laziness or a lack of motivation.

But there may be much more happening underneath.

In this episode of Parent Your ADHD Child with Confidence!, Jenny explains why motivation works differently for many teens with ADHD—and why “I don’t care” may actually mean:

“I’m overwhelmed.”
“I don’t know where to start.”
“I’m afraid I can’t catch up.”
“I’m embarrassed.”
“I need help but don’t know how to ask.”
“This is harder for me than you realize.”

You’ll learn why interest, urgency, and positive emotion can influence ADHD engagement, as well as three important ingredients for self-driven motivation: autonomy, competence, and purpose.

Jenny also explains why bribes, rewards, and punishments often produce only short-term results and shares practical coaching questions parents can use instead.

You’ll walk away with strategies for creating conversations that sound less like:

“Why haven’t you done this yet?”

and more like:

“What’s getting in the way, and what would make this feel doable?”

Because the goal isn’t simply getting your teen through tonight’s homework.

It’s helping them learn how to understand themselves, ask for help, make a plan, and eventually manage these challenges independently.

Twice-Exceptional Kids: How to Build Confidence by Focusing on Strengths with Sam Young

Épisode 35

mardi 8 septembre 2026 • Durée 32:17

Does your child seem years ahead in one area and years behind in another?

Maybe they can explain incredibly advanced ideas but forget assignments. Perhaps they can talk endlessly about history, coding, science, or another passion—but struggle socially, emotionally, or academically in ways that don't seem to match their intelligence.

Your child may have what is known as a twice-exceptional, or 2e, profile.

In today's episode, Jenny talks with Sam Young, founder and Head of School at Young Scholars Academy, about what it really means to be twice-exceptional and why these children are so frequently misunderstood.

You'll learn why giftedness and learning differences can coexist, the three ways twice-exceptionality can become masked, and how asynchronous development affects children's academic experiences, friendships, emotional regulation, and confidence.

Sam also explains why constantly focusing on deficits can leave children believing something is wrong with them—and what parents can do instead.

You'll hear practical ideas for:

Identifying and communicating your child's strengths
Using interests to build executive-function skills
Understanding why kids may fall apart after school
Creating more flexibility around how children learn
Exploring whether your child may be twice-exceptional
Building a supportive team around your child
Helping your child develop a strengths-based identity

The goal isn't to ignore areas where children need support.

It's to make sure their struggles don't become the only story they hear about themselves.

4 Ways to Help Your ADHD Child Manage Stress, Overwhelm & Academic Pressure

Épisode 34

mercredi 2 septembre 2026 • Durée 24:04

School pressure. Social pressure. Activities. Friendships. College planning. Family expectations.

For many kids and teens, it can feel like there's always something they should be doing—and for students with ADHD, managing all of those demands can become especially overwhelming.

In this episode, Jenny Drennan breaks down what stress can actually look like in children and teens and shares four practical ways parents can help their child decompress and regulate during busy seasons.

We discuss:

Signs your child may be more stressed than they realize
Why procrastination and avoidance may be signs of overwhelm
How stress and sleep affect executive functioning
Why ADHD symptoms can become harder to manage during stressful periods
Physical activity as a stress-management strategy
Creating an environment that supports decompression
Creative outlets that help kids process emotions
Relaxation and reflection strategies
Helping kids balance academics and extracurriculars
Reducing social comparison and social-media pressure
Teaching kids how to say no
Modeling healthy stress management as a parent

Remember: the goal isn't to remove every stressful experience from your child's life. It's to help them recognize stress, respond to it, and gradually build strategies they can carry into adulthood.

Why Parent Involvement in School Matters: How to Support Your ADHD Child’s Learning Without Taking Over

Épisode 33

mardi 25 août 2026 • Durée 18:11

You may hear “parent involvement” and immediately picture volunteering in an elementary classroom or attending every school event.

But involvement can look very different—especially as your child gets older.

In this episode, Jenny talks about the powerful role parents play in shaping their child’s relationship with school and learning. Your child may not always show it, particularly during the teen years, but your interest, attitude, and involvement still matter.

For children with ADHD and other learning differences, staying connected to school can be especially important. Parents may sometimes pull away because communication with teachers has become stressful, their child frequently gets in trouble, or every interaction with school seems to focus on what is going wrong.

Instead, Jenny encourages parents to think of themselves, their child, and their teachers as a team.

You’ll learn how parent involvement can help support:

School engagement and attendance
Confidence and self-esteem
A healthier attitude toward learning
Stronger parent-teacher relationships
Better communication between home and school
Self-advocacy and independence
More consistent homework and study routines

Jenny also shares practical strategies you can begin using at home, including creating a dedicated learning space, establishing routines, attending school activities when possible, communicating what you’re noticing at home, and gradually helping older children take greater ownership of communication with their teachers.

The goal isn’t to become more involved in every detail of your child’s education.

It’s to stay connected enough that your child knows: their learning matters, their experience matters, and you’re there to support them while they learn how to advocate for themselves.

If your child is avoiding school, becoming overwhelmed by homework, struggling with organization or learning, or experiencing declining confidence, WeThrive Learning may be able to help.

Is Your Anxiety Affecting Your Child With ADHD? How to Stop the Cycle of Worry, Control, and Rescue

Épisode 32

mardi 18 août 2026 • Durée 18:30

Sometimes the things we do because we love our children—checking, reminding, rescuing, fixing, planning, and protecting—can unintentionally make it harder for them to develop confidence and independence.

For parents who already experience anxiety, raising a child with ADHD can amplify those instincts even more.

In this episode, Jenny discusses how parental anxiety can influence the emotional climate of the home and the way we respond to our children. She shares her own experience seeking support for anxiety and learning to loosen perfectionism, tolerate uncertainty, and become more flexible as a parent.

You'll hear about:

How children pick up on a parent's stress, tone, and body language
Why anxiety can sometimes look like micromanaging or over-functioning
The connection between parental worry and rescuing
Why repeatedly stepping in can undermine a child's autonomy
How ADHD can make children especially sensitive to emotional cues
Why allowing appropriate discomfort and natural consequences matters
How perfectionism can take away from warmth and connection
The importance of modeling flexibility and healthy coping skills
Why getting support for yourself can ultimately support your child
How to begin shifting from managing everything for your child to helping them develop their own tools

The goal isn't to become a perfectly calm parent. It's to become more aware of when anxiety is driving your parenting decisions and learn healthier ways to respond.

When we work on our own ability to tolerate uncertainty, regulate emotions, and let go of some control, we give our children more opportunities to practice doing the same.

If school, executive-function challenges, ADHD, or learning difficulties are creating significant stress for your child, they may need more than reminders and encouragement.

At WeThrive Learning, our educational therapists and ADHD/executive-function coaches work one-on-one with students to help them develop the skills they need to approach learning with greater independence and confidence.

Helping Your ADHD Child Build Friendships & Navigate Social Challenges

Épisode 31

mardi 11 août 2026 • Durée 16:43

Why can a child with ADHD make friends but have a much harder time keeping them?

Friendships require far more executive function than we sometimes realize. Reading social cues, taking turns in conversations, remembering to respond to texts, making plans, handling changes, managing disappointment, and understanding someone else’s perspective can all be challenging for children and teens with ADHD.

In this episode of Parent Your ADHD Child with Confidence!, Jenny breaks down some of the reasons social situations can feel difficult for kids with ADHD and shares practical ways parents can help build these skills without making every interaction feel like a correction.

You’ll learn how to use modeling, perspective-taking, role-playing, teacher collaboration, and everyday social opportunities to help your child better understand themselves and others.

We also discuss an important reminder for parents: your child doesn’t need 20 friends to be socially successful. One or two meaningful, supportive friendships may be exactly what fills their cup.

In this episode:

Why maintaining friendships can be difficult for children with ADHD
How executive functioning affects social skills
Why kids with ADHD may misinterpret social cues or other people’s intentions
The connection between emotional regulation and friendship challenges
How to address interruptions without shaming your child
Ways to practice perspective-taking
Why difficult conversations are often better revisited later
How role-playing can prepare kids for social situations
Ways teachers can support your child socially
How to create natural opportunities to practice friendship skills
Why quality friendships matter more than popularity

If your child is struggling with ADHD, executive functioning, motivation, organization, learning, or becoming more independent at school and at home, WeThrive Learning provides individualized support for neurodivergent students.

Why ADHD Kids Take Criticism So Personally and How Parents Can Respond

Épisode 30

mercredi 5 août 2026 • Durée 16:43

Does your child become defensive, angry, tearful, or overwhelmed whenever you offer feedback even when you are trying to be gentle?

Children with ADHD often experience more correction, redirection, and reminders than their peers. Over time, they may begin expecting criticism, which can make even small comments feel like rejection or personal failure.

In this episode, Jenny explains why criticism can feel so intense for children and teens with ADHD. She discusses rejection sensitivity, emotional flooding, extreme self-talk, and the difficulty some children have separating their behavior from their identity.

You will also hear practical ways to reduce conflict and help your child receive feedback without feeling ashamed or attacked.

In this episode, you will learn:

Why children with ADHD may experience feedback as a threat
How rejection sensitivity can appear at home and at school
Why children use phrases such as “I never do anything right”
How emotional flooding affects reflection and problem-solving
Why tone, timing, and connection matter
How to replace criticism with curiosity-based coaching
What it means to connect before you correct
How to become your child’s coach rather than the referee of every mistake

When children feel connected, supported, and emotionally safe, they are better able to reflect, learn, and build the skills they need.

Épisode 29

mardi 28 juillet 2026 • Durée 16:43

The transition back to school can feel exciting, overwhelming, and unpredictable—sometimes all at once.

For children and teens with ADHD, a new school year may bring changes in routines, teachers, expectations, friendships, transportation, homework, and extracurricular activities. These changes can increase anxiety and make it harder for students to manage time, emotions, and responsibilities.

In this episode of Parent Your ADHD Child with Confidence!, Jenny Drennan, founder of WeThrive Learning, shares five practical strategies families can use to create a smoother back-to-school transition.

You’ll learn how to:

Build predictable morning and evening routines
Review schedules so your child knows what to expect
Communicate effectively with teachers
Help your child visualize and manage time
Review school or college accommodations
Create space for conversations about anxiety and big emotions

These strategies are designed to reduce overwhelm while helping children become more confident, prepared, and independent.

WeThrive Learning provides individualized educational therapy and ADHD and executive-function coaching for students from fourth grade through college.
