Parenting Oppositional Behavior in Teens with ADHD

About this episode

Annie Adjan discusses how oppositional behavior in teens with ADHD is often a result of being overwhelmed and provides practical tools for parents to respond effectively.

Oppositional behavior is not a parenting failure, and it is not just “bad behavior.” In this episode, Annie explains why anger, non-compliance, and defiance are often part of how ADHD shows up in teens, especially when they are overwhelmed, dysregulated, or missing key skills. She shares two practical tools parents can use to respond more effectively: a calm, firm in-the-moment strategy for heated situations, and a collaborative approach for solving the real problems underneath the behavior later. If you feel like you’re losing your child to constant conflict, this episode will help you lead with more calm, more clarity, and more confidence.   Looking for more support? 📋 Get my free Parenting ADHD guide here:  https://www.annieadjan.com/guide 🤝 Apply for personalized, 1-on-1 coaching here:  https://www.annieadjan.com/ 📱 Follow me for more helpful content and ideas: Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/annie.adjan Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/annieadjanacademy TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@annie.adjan 📺 Access my full library of free instructional videos and strategy guides:  https://www.annieadjan.com/blog 🎓 Discover the success…
