How Can I Help My Child Understand Their ADHD?
Talking openly and positively about ADHD can help your child understand why some things feel harder, recognise their strengths and feel more confident about who they are.
CHILD ADHD · POST-DIAGNOSTIC CARE
Supporting Your Child Starts With Supporting You
Every Raiys child ADHD assessment includes ongoing support for parents and carers, regardless of the diagnostic outcome. Through the Raiys app, you'll find expert-led guidance, practical strategies and personalised wellbeing programmes to help you better understand your child's needs, support them through everyday challenges and build a happier, healthier family life.
A NEW CHAPTER - TOGETHER
After Your Child’s ADHD Diagnosis
UnderstandingPractical SupportFamily Wellbeing
Learning that your child has ADHD can bring mixed emotions. Relief at finally having answers. Questions about what comes next, how to support them at school and what their future might look like.
Your child is still the same person they’ve always been, with their own strengths, personality and potential. A diagnosis can help you understand their needs better and find new ways to support them. At Raiys, we’re here to help you navigate those next steps with greater confidence.
Should I Tell My Child’s School About Their Diagnosis?
Sharing your child’s diagnosis can help teachers understand their needs and explore appropriate support, from classroom adjustments and learning strategies to emotional wellbeing.
How Can I Support My Child’s Emotions and Behaviour?
ADHD can affect how children manage frustration, big feelings and everyday challenges. Understanding what triggers overwhelm and finding strategies that work for your child can make difficult moments easier to navigate.
Is Medication the Only Option for My Child?
No. Medication can help some children, but it’s not the only form of support. Practical strategies, routines, school adjustments and family support can also make a difference. Raiys doesn’t currently prescribe medication but provides ongoing digital support for children and families.
