Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast Series by Attitude magazine.

Hello everyone, this is Wayne Callan for Attitude magazine. Today's topic, how best to

motivate an adolescent with ADHD is a universal problem for parents who raise teens.

Perhaps this might be an accurate description of what goes on in your home.

When you are not sick with worry, you are nagging your teen,

or maybe you were fighting with him or her. You were so anxious about his or her future that you constantly

pesture him or her about homework and upcoming tests. To others, he looks like a nice kid soft-spoken engaging and polite but to you he seems

Unmotivated maybe even lazy all of your begging pleading and berating have failed to light the fire of motivation under him or her.

We have with us today clinical psychologist, Ghan and Price, who as they say wrote the book on motivation

in teens with ADHD. He is the author of he's not

lazy empowering your son to believe in himself. He has worked with children,

adolescents, and their families for more than 25 years. He is written for the Wall Street Journal, Family Circle, and Psychology today as well as academic publications.
