Parenting Children & Teens

Topics in this section:

This section includes information to help parents at various stages throughout their child's years of growth and development. From early childhood through the teen years, parents of children with AD/HD face many different challenges. Children with AD/HD are often spoken of as "developmentally delayed," and the developmental milestones seen in children without AD/HD may be seen later in children with AD/HD.

The CDC's public information campaign, "Learn the Signs. Act Early" can help parents of young children be attentive to what may or may not be a sign of developmental delay or disability. To learn more, watch the video below.
