ADHD Workbook For Teens

While most teens deal with learning, social difficulties, and domestic challenges, ADHD can make these challenges more difficult to handle or worsen. It’s therefore crucial to support children and teens with ADHD develop the skillsets that will help them achieve their life goals and aspiration. Suppose your teen has been diagnosed with ADHD, and it affects their academic performance. In that case, they might be eligible for classroom concessions, including additional exam time, extra teaching sessions, or any other support that will help them realise their goals. You should contact the school or your local authority if you think your child or teen may be qualified for such concessions. Children and Teens with ADHD often struggle to engage with their peers because of their impulsivity, hyperactivity, and agitation. Adolescents with ADHD tend to be more intrusive in social environments and louder and distractible than their peers. Peer pressure and rejection that begin in childhood will continue well into adolescence. Additionally, a lack of supportive peer interactions in earlier years can reduce opportunities to learn and develop social skills, exacerbating existing deficits. Finally, peer interactions become more significant during puberty. As a consequence, difficulties forming and maintaining relationships can impede one's ability to function. Teens with ADHD are more likely to associate with the 'wrong crowd' or face rejection from their peers. Organising social activities for your youth, such as sports, festivals, or neighbourhood groups, can help build fun opportunities to balance out other, less friendly relationships.

'In this luminous story full of mystery and magic, Elana K. Arnold weaves a shimmering tapestry about the lovely and surprising ways we’re connected to each other. Heart-healing, hopeful, and wonderfully inventive, this beautiful novel by a master storyteller is not to be missed.' —Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal-winning author of The One and Only Ivan Alder has always lived in his cozy little house in Southern California. And for as long as he can remember, the old, reliable, comforting walnut tree has stood between his house and the one next door. That is, until a new family—with a particularly annoying girl his age—moves into the neighboring house and, without warning, cuts it down. Oak doesn’t understand why her family had to move to Southern California. She has to attend a new school, find new friends, and live in a new house that isn’t even ready—her mother had to cut down a tree on their property line in order to make room for a second floor. And now a strange boy next door won’t stop staring at her, like she did something wrong moving here in the first place. As Oak and Alder start school together, they can’t imagine ever becoming friends. But the two of them soon discover a series of connections between them—mysterious, possibly even magical puzzles they can’t put together. At least not without each other’s help. Award-winning author Elana K. Arnold returns with an unforgettable story of the strange, wondrous threads that run between all of us, whether we know they’re there or not.
