It starts with the first sneaking suspicion about your child’s big emotions and impulsivity. They grow through those wild (but sweet!) preschool years, and then in Pre-K or Kindergarten, you start getting letters from the school or emails from the teacher. Confusion and embarrassment creep in, and everything starts to feel heavy. Thankfully, you are not alone. There is hope!

In this episode, we hear from ADHD parent Devon Pickens as she shares her journey from confused to confident as she navigates school for her child with ADHD.
