What: Emotional Stressors of Parenting a Child with AD/HD
Who: Andrea Chronis-Tuscano, PhD
Parenting takes time, energy, and patience. While true for all parents, this is especially true for parents of children with AD/HD. Parents of a child with AD/HD constantly worry about their child's school performance, social skills, or next impulsive act. Managing a child's AD/HD can seem like a never-ending responsibility, and parents often feel they have no time for themselves, finding it difficult or impossible to take even the smallest break. This can inevitably take its toll, leading possibly to parental anxiety, depression, or just plain stress.
As a parent of a child with AD/HD, it is important to take care of yourself. The better you take care of yourself, the better you will be able to take care of your child. This month Andrea Chronis-Tuscano, Ph.D, will answer parents' questions on how to cope with and manage the Emotional Stressors of Parenting a Child with AD/HD.
About Andrea Chronis-Tuscano, Ph.D
Dr. Chronis-Tuscano received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 2002 from the State University of New York at Buffalo. She completed her training with an APA-accredited internship at the University of Chicago, where she received the Zanvel Klein Academic Award for excellence in clinical research and practice.
Dr. Chronis-Tuscano joined the Department of Psychology at the University of Maryland in 2002, and directs the Maryland Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Program. She is also an Adjunct Professor of Pediatrics at the George Washington University School of Medicine, Children's National Medical Center. She is a recipient of the American Psychological Association Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology Junior Faculty Mentoring and Development Award and the CHADD Young Research Scientist Award.
