Parenting Oppositional Behavior in Teens with ADHD
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.

What Not to Say to Your ADHD Teen (And What to Say Instead)
If you’ve ever wondered “Why did that simple comment blow up?” — this episode is for you.
Parents of ADHD teens often unintentionally make symptoms worse with the words they use. In this episode, I share three common language mistakes that quietly escalate anxiety, shutdowns, meltdowns, and fibbing — and I give you exact scripts to use instead.
These small shifts can dramatically reduce power struggles, improve honesty, and strengthen your connection with your teen.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why replacing “but” with “and” changes everything for the ADHD nervous system
How “why” questions trigger threat responses and emotional shutdown
What to ask instead of “why” so your teen stays regulated and engaged
Why ADHD teens fib — and why it’s about anxiety, not dishonesty
How yes/no questions unintentionally invite lying
Simple scripts that promote honesty, cooperation, and accountability
How inclusive, low-demand language builds trust instead of tension
