Understanding ADHD

& Adapting Effectively

Mentor: Mark Schillinger​

Date: March 22, 2025

Raising a young man with ADHD or a short attention span can feel overwhelming for the whole family. ADHD not only impacts your son’s ability to focus—it can affect his ability to plan ahead, manage time, regulate emotions, and develop healthy habits for success. These struggles may hinder his academic performance, emotional well-being, and relationships with others, leaving him feeling frustrated and misunderstood.

However, with the right mentorship and tools, your son can learn to harness his unique brain and navigate the challenges of ADHD. By doing so, he’ll have more respect for himself and a self-motivating drive to reach his true potential.
