Introduction Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by developmentally inappropriate inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity affecting 11% of US children (American Psychiatric Association, 2013; Danielson et al., 2024).

Standard-issue, off-the-shelf parenting tools are woefully inadequate for the work you’re doing to address your child’s ADHD-fueled behavior problems. For this job, you need individualized tools. Also, what works for you may be ineffective for your co-parent and vice versa. My colleagues and I conducted research on whether moms and dads with ADHD differed in the behavioral parenting skills they found to be the most helpful for their kids, ages three to eight, who also have ADHD.
