Summary/Abstract: The challenge of raising children with ADHD often requires helping them contend with one of today’s pervasive social problems: bullying several factors place ADHD children at greater risk for being unsuspecting targets. The tendency to behave in an attention-seeking and/or immature fashion, coupled with decreased social awareness of the impact of their actions, leaves ADHD children more susceptible to bullying and less equipped for appropriate responses. This vulnerability makes it critical for parents to be proactive in coaching ADHD children in ways to become “bully-wise.”
