Texts Gone Wild: ADHD and Digital Impulsivity
"My teen is impulsive, and he texts his friends and siblings without thinking about what he's saying. He has made inappropriate comments to friends and family, and it has cost him a couple of friendships. How can I get him to think before he texts?"

Oh boy. Have I been there with my daughter. In middle school this was a big problem. It took a while to get her to understand that she had to pause before she sent a text. We also downloaded the app Teen Safe which allowed us to review her messages and even deleted messages. It was a struggle and she did loose friends over texting. At 15 yrs old she is still impulsive but I assume this is just the ADHD and we just have to navigate life. It is heart breaking to watch how she struggles socially but she seems happy 😊 and that’s all I can ask for.
