Dr. Ruston is joined by Erin Schoenfelder Gonzalez, PhD, a clinical psychologist at Seattle Children\u2019s Hospital, who explains how ADHD is diagnosed and how symptoms evolve from childhood through adolescence. They explore both the strengths and challenges associated with the condition. The episode focuses on research-based strategies that parents and other adults can use to support youth, including \u201cpoint-of-performance\u201d actions, preventing \u201cdopamine cliffs,\u201d and other approaches for managing screen time, physical activity, and sleep. Dr. Schoenfelder Gonzalez also shares her work developing FAST (First Approach Skills Training), a free, evidence-based program designed to give parents practical tools to support youth with ADHD and other conditions. &amp;nbsp; Featured Expert\u200d Erin Schoenfelder Gonzalez, PhD \u200d Research References Sibley, M. et al.
