Description

The ADHD Empowerment Guide is different from other parenting ADHD books because it helps parents identify their child's strengths to develop a specific plan to unlock their child's potential. With an easy-to-follow questionnaire, parents will identify their child's natural abilities and the key characteristics that will help their child succeed in llife and build a positive outlook on their journey of raising a child with ADHD.

Written by two professionals who have 'been there and done that' with their own children, this informative guide reveals the secrets and strategies behind raising a successful child with ADHD and highlights real-life people with ADHD who have excelled in life.

Reviews

"The ADHD Empowerment Guide is truly worth the time to read by not only parents, but educators, administrators and health care professionals as well. The work is laid out to give the reader not only information on ADHD but how to go farther in helping a child with ADHD and help to unlock all they can be. Then using the authors "Keys" help to unlock their successes. The work is filled with resources and references to assist the reader to seek out information and get a better understanding of what is going on in the child's mind and how to make the best of the situation on a day to day basis." Lewie Dunn, Georgia Military College, 4/20/19

"The ADHD Empowerment Guide is a fabulous find for anyone who deals with children or teens with ADHD, but I can think of many more students that these ideas would help outside the ADHD diagnosis. I love this more positive approach!" Joanne Bell, MiddleWeb, 6/20/19
