Q: "Should I Let My Teen Suffer the Consequences of His Actions?"

Should parents allow natural consequences to teach their ADHD teens a lesson in cause and effect? Or should they extend kindness when teens most need it?

  1. This is a beautiful story, and it resonated a lot with me. I think the point is that Eli had shown that he really, really made an effort to stay on top of all of his responsibilities. As you say, there is no silver-bullet solution, but it’s a good thing when kids learn that their parents are there for them when it counts; and for Eli, this trip was really important. I hope he enjoyed the trip 🙂
