Early intervention is also important to help prevent kids from falling behind in school and dealing with social issues.

A therapist can help manage their stress and anxiety, and local support groups can be helpful for parents. There’s no shame in seeking professional help because when it comes down to it, you’re not going to have every answer.
Take A Break While it’s important to be supportive of your child, it’s also normal to get overwhelmed and frustrated. Having a schedule that includes breaks for yourself is also important to help manage the stress and anxiety that comes with ADHD. There’s nothing wrong with taking a moment for yourself, as being a parent is difficult no matter what.
