Using a cross-sectional research design, data was collected from mothers representing 98 South African families with children diagnosed with ADHD. Significant positive correlations were found between dimensions of the mothers' authoritative parenting style (connection, autonomy granting and regulation) and the re-evaluation and mobilization of family coping strategies. A regression analysis indicated medication, mothers' connection and mothers' regulation as the best predictor variables for family adaptation. The use of medication to help control core ADHD symptoms can benefit families. In order to improve outcomes for parents and children with ADHD, it is also recommended that mothers are taught authoritative parenting skills.
