<p>The article presents a very high social relevance issue and it was written very clearly. The observation of some theoretical and methodological aspects, however, are important for the study.&nbsp;In the abstract there are some inaccuracies that can also be observed in the method.&nbsp;In the excerpt: "(...) perceptions of quality of life and social support, and parenting practices adopted by 26 mothers of children and adolescents with ADHD, diagnosed by the same neurologist. The average age was 9.5 years, with participants from the 1st year of primary school to the first year of high school (...) ", it is not clear specificities of the sample: is it composed of mothers? of children? Are they dyads? Initially, they indicate that the participants would be the mothers, then the mean age presented refers to children. Even in the method section, this imprecision happens. If it was dyads, what instruments were answered by the children and which ones by the main caregivers? It is also important to present the indicators of validity of the instruments used. Moreover, it was not indicated the cultural context of the participants which makes difficult to verify the relevance and validity of the instruments for the cultural context in question, as well as the elaboration of cultural explanations that could justify differences between the results obtained and those found in the literature.</p>
<p>In the introduction, an adequate review of the literature was made, showing relationships of different variables related to ADHD and parental care. However, it does not justify the choice of the new variables studied (quality of life, family support and "parental adjustment"), nor its relation with the studies that have been developed in the area. What are the theoretical and empirical additions that the study provides? It is important to develop this relationship between ideas in order to clearly demonstrate the relevance of the study.</p>
<p>In relation to the method and results, considering the aim "the objective of the study was to assess the influence of parents' emotional and behavioral difficulties, as well as their perceptions of quality of life and social support, parental educational practices among children with ADHD"</p>
<p>it is important to clarify the choice of a correlation test, which does not allow conclusions of cause and effect (direction of influence), when one could adopt a more robust statistic (such as regression analysis or structural equation modeling if the data meet the recommended statistical criteria). I believe that a revision of the statistics can give more consistency to the results obtained, as well as allow a discussion of the results better based on the empirical findings.</p>
