About this episode

This episode explores the reasons behind sibling conflict in families with ADHD and offers practical solutions for parents.

ADHD sibling conflict can leave parents feeling like they're constantly playing referee. In this episode, we explore why sibling conflict is so common in families with ADHD, the executive function skills that often fuel these arguments, and practical ways to reduce the fighting while helping your children build skills that last. MEET OUR TEAM We are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. We’ve spent decades supporting thousands of families navigating ADHD. And we’re also moms: some of us raising kids with ADHD and some of us navigating it ourselves… which means we understand both the science and the real-life moments that don’t make it into textbooks.
