It could be a medication issue. Strattera can cause moodiness when it’s not a good fit for someone.
Parenting approach can play a key role in a child’s moods and behavior too. Traditional, authoritarian parenting doesn’t work for kids with ADHD. A compassionate, collaborative approach meeting your child where they are is much, much more successful. This is often referred to as positive parenting.
