Orientação parental e autorregulação emocional em adolescentes com TDAH: uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa

Abstract

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which may cause significant impairments in academic, social, emotional, and family functioning. During adolescence, these manifestations become more complex due to increasing demands for autonomy, organization, school performance, and adaptation to interpersonal relationships. In this context, emotional regulation is a relevant aspect, since adolescents with ADHD may experience greater difficulty controlling impulses, tolerating frustration, and responding appropriately to everyday situations. This study aims to examine the contribution of parental guidance, mediated by the psychologist’s role, to the development of emotional regulation in adolescents diagnosed with ADHD. This is a narrative literature review based on the analysis of scientific productions related to ADHD, adolescence, emotional regulation, family environment, and parental guidance. The findings indicate that parental guidance may improve parents’ understanding of the disorder, reduce punitive interpretations of adolescents’ behaviors, and strengthen more consistent, predictable, and supportive educational practices. The psychologist’s role is essential in this process, as it supports psychoeducation strategies, family communication, behavioral management, and routine organization. It is concluded that parental guidance contributes to emotional regulation in adolescents with ADHD by promoting a more structured and emotionally safe family environment, favoring more adaptive responses to social, school, and family demands.
