Talkaboutable with Dr. Susan Swick

Dr. Carrie Jackson on What Works for ADHD Kids and Why

What do ADHD kids need to truly thrive? In this episode, Dr. Swick explores thoughtful, practical strategies with Dr. Carrie Jackson, a licensed clinical child psychologist specializing in ADHD and the founder of SoCal Child Psychology. Carrie has been diagnosed with ADHD herself, so she also has a personal window into what works. Together, they unpack how parents can help their kids navigate everyday challenges, from impulsivity to defiance to sibling conflicts.
