ADHD and siblings: Tips from an expert
Manage episode 398616969 series 2472853
When siblings have different needs, what’s a parent to do?
In this episode of In It, hosts Gretchen Vierstra and Rachel Bozek talk with Dr. Ari Tuckman, a psychologist who works with families and couples. He shares tips for finding balance in parenting kids when one has a learning or thinking difference. And he talks about the importance of the idea that “fair doesn’t always mean equal.”
This is part two of a two-part series. In part one, we talked to Becca, a mom of two raising one child with ADHD and one without.
