Emotional dysregulation – one of the most impairing symptoms of ADHD — causes teens to experience volatile and explosive feelings. How can parents best support their teens when emotions are unpredictable? Through education, understanding, and compassion.
Compared to neurotypical peers, teens with ADHD are also more likely to develop a negative conflict resolution style, which appears to stem from emotional dysregulation. In a relationship, a teen who struggles to inhibit their responses might withdraw as a coping mechanism. They may also “comply” with what they think their partner emotionally expects of them. This game of hide-and-pretend can only go on for so long before inhibition fails and issues are addressed in antagonistic ways.
Don’t take rude, disrespectful comments from your teen personally, no matter how hurtful. Remember that these are uncontrolled, emotional explosions. Depersonalize the comment, and you’ll find a struggling teen – not an attacking one.There’s no absolute clarity on what constitutes social media addiction, but ask yourself the following questions:
To what extent does my teen use social media to feel better? Do they feel more included, or more rejected afterward?To what extent does my child’s social media use interfere with academics, time with family and friends, and other responsibilities?Lead with this principle to limit frustration and misunderstandings.
