Parents of children with ADHD have much to gain from Scarsdale mother of four, Lisa Bezos. With children in high school, middle school and elementary school, Bezos has learned to balance busy schedules and varied personalities and interests, all while navigating the special challenges inherent in raising a child with ADHD.
After a successful run last semester, Bezos returns April 27 to lead a four-week class for parents of children ages 5-12, entitled “Living with ADHD: A Parent's Perspective.”
Classes will take place from 9:15-10:45 a.m. at Westchester Reform Temple.
