If you are a parent of a child with ADHD, you know that it is a difficult journey. Am I too strict? Am I allowing my child to watch too much TV and play too many video games? How do I handle how energetic my child is? Dr. Meg talks to you as a parent of ADHD and helps you figure out how to make great choices for your child. This episode was inspired by an email that Dr. Meg received from the mom of a child with ADHD, and she knew that it was a great topic to cover for an entire episode instead of just a social segment. Do you have a question for Dr. Meg? If so, email them to askmeg@megmeekermd.com and she could answer your question in an upcoming episode!
