Am I bad?

It's a painful question many children with ADHD quietly ask themselves.

Meet DJ-a bright, creative, and energetic 12-year-old whose fast-moving brain can make everyday life feel overwhelming. At school and at home, DJ struggles with focus, impulsive behavior, and big emotions. Sometimes he gets in trouble. Sometimes he feels misunderstood.

Sometimes... he wonders if something is wrong with him.

But with the support of his mom, teachers, counselor, and loyal pets, DJ begins to understand something important:

He is not bad.

His brain just works differently.

Through relatable, real-life moments, DJ learns how to:

- Slow down his busy mind and body

- Handle big feelings in healthier ways

- Use calming coping skills that actually help

- Build confidence and believe in himself

- Understand ADHD without shame or fear

Written with warmth, compassion, humor, and hope, this empowering story helps children feel seen, supported, and less alone.

Perfect for children ages 6-12, this book also includes built-in support for the adults in a child's life:

Parent & Caregiver Guide - Practical support, encouragement, and understanding

Teacher Guide - Classroom-friendly strategies and behavior support ideas

Clinical Guidance - Helpful insight for counselors and mental health professionals

Ideal for home, school, counseling, and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) settings.

This book can also support Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) by helping children build self-awareness, emotional regulation, self-confidence, empathy, and healthy coping skills.

Part of the I Am Not Bad series-created to help children and families better understand ADHD, anxiety, autism, depression, DMDD, learning differences, and big emotions through compassionate storytelling and coping skills.

Perfect for children struggling with:

ADHD, impulsivity, emotional regulation, focus challenges, school difficulties, overwhelming feelings, and low self-esteem.

And for every child who needs the reminder:

They are not bad.
