Abstract

Research demonstrating increased impairment in girls with ADHD has de-emphasized resilience and the potential for ‘better-than-expected’ outcomes. We examine whether parenting practices predict long-term Positive Adjustment (PA) within this group; findings reveal key practices successfully predict long-term PA and highlight the need to refine existing approaches to studying PA.
