Parenting a child with ADD/ADHD is a journey—one that comes with unique joys and challenges at every stage. In our latest conversation, Laura Barr sat down with Craig Knippenberg, LCSW, to explore how parents can support ADHD students through high school, college transitions, and beyond.
With over 40 years of experience in child development and mental health, Craig shared both professional expertise and personal insights as a father of four, including two adults with ADHD. His “good-enough” approach to parenting, shaped by his work as the creator of the CONNECT group program and best-selling author of Wired and Connected and Shame-Free Parenting, resonated deeply with listeners.
This episode covered:
✅ Executive function and emotional regulation in ADHD students
✅ Preparing for major transitions: from high school to college and beyond
✅ Creating a home environment that supports ADHD brains
✅ Strategies for independence, resilience, and self-advocacy
