Great resource!

An invaluable resource for parents of children with ADHD! This book offers clear, actionable strategies grounded in research, while also showing deep empathy for the challenges families face. Practical advice on managing behavior, creating routines, and supporting emotional well-being makes it a must-read. A supportive guide that empowers parents to thrive alongside their child with ADHD.

Helpful!

This book was an easy listen and very helpful. I feel like it gave me practical advise on how to support and raise my child with ADHD. The book makes me feel not alone in understanding how hard it can be to raise a kid with ADHD. It had a good chapter on empathy and even a very helpful chapter on discipline and how to do it without breaking them down. I would recommend this book to any parent who has a child with ADHD.

A user friendly guide

This book is a breath of fresh air amid the often overwhelming and confusing genre of living with ADHD. The love and compassion of the author is clearly evident and it sounds more like a good friend talking to you than a clinical handbook. Don’t be fooled by the easy going nature though, this book is brimming with excellent ideas and setting a framework for genuine connection and understanding with your ADHD child. There are just so many real world examples that sound like right out of a regular household combined with practical solutions to everyday problems. I was particularly impressed by the fact there were often multiple examples of different ways to tackle the same problems. This is such valuable information since we all know that our kids (and us parents) respond differently depending on the situation and sense of urgency.

Education is power

For those who have struggled with hyperactivity disorder all of their lives, or now find themselves in the position of raising children with this disorder, the book is very informative and helps the reader to understand the complexities of day-to-day life with people that do suffer from the disorder. Great read, highly recommended!

The EMPATHY framework is a game changer

My son has ADHD and I often consume resources teaching me how to parent him with love, kindness, empathy, and evidence based tactics to help him thrive as well as advocate for him. Lynda Apple does a great job with her E. M. P. A. T. H. Y. framework of adding even more tools to my toolbelt. She addresses important aspects like self-care and creating a sensory- friendly home, as well as understanding your child’s strengths (I try to teach him that his challenges relating to ADHD are actually his superpowers). This is a great read!
