Whether your teen has a diagnosis, is waiting for one, or you suspect your teen has some of the characteristics, this session offers insight into what might show up in the teenage years.
We’ll discuss how understanding these characteristics can help parents better support their teen’s strengths, struggles, and emotional world. We’ll also look ahead: how can parents help their teen feel more grounded, hopeful and ready for transitions like school moves, college, or work?
