Welcome to the attention deficit disorder expert podcast series by Attitude Magazine.

Hello and welcome.

I'm Carol Fleck, and on behalf of the Attitude team, I'm pleased to bring you today's ADHD

experts presentation titled ADHD Grand Families, Grandparents Raising Noro Diversion Grandkids.

Leading today's presentation is Dr. Caroline Mendel from the Child Mind Institute.

Dr. Mendel is the Senior Director of Clinical Services for School and Community Programs

and the Psychologist in the ADHD and Behavior Disorder Center at Child Mind.

She specializes in the assessment and treatment of youth with ADHD, disruptive behavior, and other co-occurring conditions.

She is skilled in behavioral parent training approaches and is a certified parent child interaction therapist.

She also has experience providing evidence-based interventions including cognitive behavioral therapy,

interpersonal psychotherapy, and dialectical behavior therapy.

In today's webinar, we'll help grandparents better understand why children with ADHD exhibit certain behaviors

and will provide you with proven practical strategies that will encourage positive behavior

and help you set the stage for success.

We'd like to begin today's webinar by asking this poll question to our live audience.

What is the most surprising, valuable, or eye-opening lesson that your grandchild has taught you about parenting?

Submit your answer in the text box under the video player.

And while you do that, I'll point out that live participants may submit questions any time during the live event.

If you're interested in the certificate of attendance option, look for instructions in the email you'll receive

about an hour after the live broadcast.
