Clapbacks and comebacks: Families react to “Does your kid really have ADHD?” and other judgments

How do we react to the judgment of others when we’re raising kids who learn differently? And how do we handle our own judgment? In this bonus episode, Amanda Morin and Gretchen Vierstra share favorite moments from families who are “in it.” Get advice on — and even comebacks for — questions like “Is ADHD even real?” Hear why one mom stopped sharing her son’s diagnosis with family and friends. Find out how one couple learned to shut out the noise of others to focus on what was right for their kids.
