SUMMARY
Parenting a child with ADHD can bring so much joy… but it can also add stress to your marriage or relationship. This week, we’re talking with Lisa Rabinowitz, a marriage therapist who specializes in working with ADHD couples. Lisa shares why parenting a child with ADHD can create tension between parents. She shares how you and your partner can work together (instead of feeling like you’re on opposite teams!). Lisa gives practical tools to help you communicate better, reduce conflict, and keep your relationship strong while parenting ADHD.
