What happens when a child with learning and thinking differences gets labeled as the “bad kid”? In this episode of “In It,” hosts Gretchen Vierstra and Rachel Bozek welcome Aleesha, a parent of five children, four of whom have an ADHD diagnosis. Aleesha has seen the effects of a child being perceived — and named — as the “bad kid.”
She shares what it’s been like to navigate school systems and the painful experience of seeing her child misunderstood.
We talk about why kids with ADHD and other learning differences are often mischaracterized. And Aleesha shares tips about what parents can do to support their children—and themselves—through it all.
