“I participated in a campaign on behalf of MomCentral Consulting (#MC) for Shire. I received a promotional item as a thank
you for participating.”
Raising a child at any age
is challenging, and when it comes to mothers and daughters, the dynamic can be
even more complex. What some may dismiss as “typical tween girl behavior” can
sometimes be symptoms of something more serious. Research suggests that girls
are more likely than boys to report having mostly inattentive Attention-
Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms. Since inattentive symptoms can
be less noticeable than hyperactive and impulsive symptoms, it is important
that moms know what to look for.
That’s why I’m pleased to
be joining Shire, CHADD and Holly Robinson Peete to announce the launch of keep momming, a new public service
initiative geared towards the moms of tween girls to raise awareness of ADHD.
The campaign is anchored
within a new digital hub, KeepMomming.com, where you’ll find tips, tools and
other go-to resources for moms, including a checklist to help recognize the
symptoms of ADHD – inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity – and then
encourages moms to talk to their daughter’s doctor. The keep momming initiative can help moms learn about ADHD and provide
ideas on how to spark a conversation and stay connected with their tween.
