impairments. Some of their families are cohesive and high-functioning; others are overwhelmed and disorganized” (as cited in Nigg, 2006, p. 178). Parenting an ADHD child can be emotionally draining which causes parents with ADHD children to scientifically show higher rates of depression. They also display ADHD symptoms due to their emotional strain of training their ADHD child (Tarver, Daley, Sayal, 2015). So for parents to reflect positive, supportive parenting styles towards their ADHD children is crucial for their development (de Oliveira Pires, Passos da Silva, Cosme Marcelo Furtado de Assis, Gonçalves, n.d.). Another key factor in the ADHD child’s growth and development is the environment that they spend their youth. “Family environments such as: low-income class, severe interparental discord, numerous families, parental criminality, maternal mental disorder, kids raised under adoption conditions, deaths in their family, their parent loses their employment, deficient family functioning, and the presence of substantial stress in the family, are strongly related to psychosocial disorders, such as ADHD” (de Oliveira Pires, Passos da Silva, Cosme Marcelo Furtado de Assis, Gonçalves, n.d.).
