For busy parents, back-to-school season can come as a blessing in many ways. Your weekdays become slightly more free, and you may no longer have to worry about scheduling activities or a babysitter for your kids while you’re trying to work (or have brunch with your girls). But parents who have children with a chronic condition may find that the back-to-school season also comes with its own set of unique challenges. If you have a child with ADHD, you’re not alone in feeling worried. It is estimated that six million children and adolescents in the U.S. are living with ADHD¹.
