Dr. Crenshaw’s Articles
If you go to the ADDitude listing of Dr. Crenshaw’s 30 authored/co-authored articles, you will find a wide variety of topics that are all questions or discussions that parents have had or will have with their teen or young adult who is living with ADHD. For example here is a brief listing of the ADDitude articles he has written:
- Q: “How Do I Get My Embarrassed Teen to Use Her ADHD Accommodations?”
- “ADHD Teens Behind the Wheel” (This is a podcast too.)
- When Your Teen Refuses to Stay Home
- The Rules of Dating (and Breaking Up) with ADHD
- Make Your Teen the CEO of Her Treatment Plan
- “Mom and Dad, I’m Moving Back Home”
There are articles on ADHD medication, vaping, screen time, social media, sleep problems, gap years, and more.
Dr. Crenshaw presents information and ideas straightforwardly and thoughtfully – more like you are having a conversation to come up with solutions. His many articles can be helpful when you need answers and ideas but don’t have the time to sit and read a whole book.
I want to encourage you to take a little time to take a look at Dr. Crenshaw’s articles and see if they may be an addition to your ADHD library and resources.
