ADHD and ODD don’t magically disappear when childhood ends — they grow up with us. 💭 Many adults still battle impulsive decisions, restless relationships, and bursts of frustration that make daily life harder than it looks.

In this episode of the Neuro Nest Podcast, we talk openly about what it’s like to live with ADHD and ODD as an adult — and the tools that actually help.

🧠 You’ll learn:

• How ADHD & ODD symptoms can evolve into adulthood

• Common signs: impulsive job changes, anger flare-ups, and relationship struggles

• Coping strategies that work — therapy, medication, structure, and self-awareness

• Why seeking help is strength, not shame

When your child becomes a teenager, everything changes — the attitude, the independence, the backtalk. 😤 Parenting teens with ADHD and ODD can feel like walking a tightrope between giving freedom and keeping structure.

In this episode of the Neuro Nest Podcast, we dive into what really happens when “attitude levels up” — and how to stay connected while still setting firm, respectful boundaries.

🧠 You’ll learn:

• Why ADHD & ODD behaviors shift during the teen years

• How to use family contracts and agreements to reduce conflict

• Healthy outlets for anger and frustration

• How to balance freedom, trust, and accountability

• Why your teen still needs you — even when they act like they don’t 💛

Parenting through this stage isn’t about control — it’s about connection, communication, and compassion.
