When ADHD is left unmanaged, every area of life is negatively affected. In fact, research shows that untreated ADHD is one of the most highly impairing conditions to live with. When I use the term impairing … let me explain.
Due to executive functioning we have a symptom, say a teen who's often forgetting their folder for class. That could lead to an impairment - not getting their work done, detention or falling behind in class.
Another example is a teen who has the symptom of poor time management. This could lead to impairments such as being late for school or pick ups, having trouble finishing assignments on time, or underestimating how long it takes to do their work or a chore they have been set.
And can you see where I am going with this? The consequences of your teens' impairments means they are often left dealing with frustrated and angry adults who have lost patience.
You also may find your teen will show their emotions to a greater degree - not because they have a mood disorder, but because they are less able to down regulate strong emotions through their executive processing system.
As parents you will notice very impulsive expressions of emotions to a greater degree and difficulties recovering control of themselves after the strong emotion has been provoked.
It can impact the whole family - causing no amount of angst often causing flared tempers and rising stress levels. And this is exactly why I created this program to support parents like I was.

You want to build a positive relationship with your teen BUT whenever you ask them about their day it ends in a shouting match. Rage mom: 0. ADHD teenager: 1. Communicating with your teen really does go from zero to 100 in seconds.
You want your teen to be socially engaged in healthy relationships with peers but every time you suggest they invite their friends over, they roll their eyes so hard at you you’re worried they’ve pulled a muscle. Their ADHD is driving a wedge in your relationship.
You want to empower your teen and teach them skills to manage their ADHD, and lead a happier safer life, but their inability to complete tasks .. often leaving you to finish them .. causes you frustration. Why is it you only get a response when you snap?
Hey, I’m Yasmin and I understand how heartbreaking it is when you watch your child struggle.
My program works – it’s built not just from my professional perspective as a qualified therapist working with stress and trauma.
But also from my mistakes and learning and sweat and tears of raising my own teen with ADHD and Dyslexia.
On top of that I am diagnosed with adhd, dyslexia and I have dyspraxia – I get first hand the negative impact it can have on your teens life if it is left to its own devices.
