A unique road map to help your child with ADHD thrive
Ask any parent what they want for their child, and most will give the same answer: happiness. But how exactly can you help a child with ADHD grow into a happy, self-sufficient adult? With personal stories, evidence-based approaches, and recommended tools, Our Guide to Navigating ADHD shows you how to help your child move from floundering to flourishing.
In this insightful and practical book, Dr. Jane Timmons-Mitchell and Stephen Mitchell describe how they integrated the strength-based concepts of flourishing and grit throughout Stephen's childhood. Their unique vantage points--Jane as a child psychologist and the mother of Stephen, a successful adult with ADHD--allow them to detail how they charted their own path as a family. They highlight the importance of positive parenting and engaging in lifelong disciplines like music, sports, and nature. The road is not always smooth, but you can learn how to address common scenarios for children with ADHD.
More than a parenting book, Our Guide to Navigating ADHD empowers families to reframe challenges into opportunities for grit, growth, and well-being. Create your own road map to help your child not just cope with ADHD but truly thrive in life!
