Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast series by Attitude Magazine.

Today's title is, When Teen Stress Ignites Strong Emotions, Teaching Anger and Frustration

So many families here are navigating month number 11 without normal school, athletics,

activities, social outlets, teen emotions are understandably heightened.

They are already exacerbated by ADHD and puberty and parents need help.

That's why we're here today to help understand what's going on and move forward with some

practical solutions, thanks to the insights of Brendan Mahan.

Brendan is an internationally recognized ADHD and executive function expert and speaker,

and he's the host of the ADHD Essentials Podcast.

He's a former teacher, a mental health counselor, a principal, and Brendan helps individuals,

family, schools, and businesses manage the challenges of ADHD and neurodiversity through
