Abstract
Children with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are known to have poorer academic outcomes and experience challenges with homework. The Aim of this research is to explore parents' subjective experiences and perspectives of the challenges presented by ADHD and homework and consider what type of intervention may be helpful to parents. In depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants (n = 13). Transcripts were analysed for thematic content. Results showed homework was experienced by parents of children with ADHD as a persistently stressful part of their family’s daily life. Eight themes were identified. Given the poorer academic outcomes of children with ADHD together with the challenges parents experience, a targeted parenting intervention to address these challenges is needed and warrants further research.
