Q&A: What should I do if my partner and I disagree on how to handle our child's ADHD?

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...

What you can do if you're wondering: "Is my kid's ADHD diagnosis real or do I have an active 10-year-old kid?"
How to evaluate the accuracy of a diagnosis and what steps to take if you're unsure or want a second opinion.
Practical tools you can use to support your child—diagnosis or not.
Strategies for becoming more aligned with your partner on how to handle parenting challenges and support your child's needs.
What is a behavioral observation tracker, and how it can help you decide which interventions would be most helpful to use.
The surprising truth about warmth and respect and why erring more on the side of warmth might actually be the key to creating change. (Want to learn more about parenting styles? Check out our episode on the benefits of authoritative parenting.)
The parenting patterns we can become entrenched in, and a path forward to getting more on the same page.
