Why the CDC recommends a good coach...
​​​​​"Experts recommend that healthcare providers refer parents of children younger than 12 years old for training in behavior therapy. When parents become trained in behavior therapy, they learn skills and strategies to help their child with ADHD succeed at school, at home, and in relationships. Learning and practicing behavior therapy requires time and effort, but it has lasting benefits for the child and the family."
