While preparing for a recent Book Club being offered within the Intent to Action Membership I listened to an interview of Penn and Kim Holderness where Penn very simply and eloquently discussed the topic "Talking ADHD Evaluation and Diagnosis with your Tween".
At approximately 10:25 minutes into the video Penn provides a wonderful explanation and example for parents to use who find themselves wanting to broach this sensitive topic with their tween.
I share it here in hopes that someone may find it both useful and helpful :)

Great video
Thanks for posting this. It was a very relatable watch and nice to hear from a couple where both partners are aware and working hard to understand each other and address the challenges of ADHD while embracing the positives.
Yes, something I need to work
Yes, something I need to work on. We (in my home) are so focused on overcoming, or improving our coping skills when ADHD symptoms arise in order to minimize their negative impact. We need to spend more time learning about, and celebrating, the positives like this couple has :) Really glad you enjoyed the video!
