(00:00:40) The most important tactics when it comes to parenting ADHD children and how it's different than parenting neurotypical children.
(00:04:30) Task initiation isn't an inherent skill for neurodivergent kids; it's a game-changer when we realize it's developed and practiced, not just known or picked up.
