ADHD! What's Next?: Parenting Solutions for Home and School

by Gary M Unruh, Eric M Unruh, Gary M. Unruh

Father and son authors Gary Unruh and Eric Unruh "get it" because they have lived it. They have ADHD themselves and have personally experienced ADHD from both the parent's perspective and the child's perspective. In addition, they are both successful mental health professionals who together have spent 60-plus years helping ADHD kids live up to their full potential. It gives them both great joy helping children with ADHD live happy and healthy lives. Does your child have ADHD? Parenting a child with ADHD isn't easy. But there are two things parents can do to help their child be successful at home and school. First, gain a deeper understanding of ADHD. ADHD What's Next? helps parents see there is much more to childhood ADHD than simply inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. This book describes ADHD through the riveting story of an ADHD boy named Chad, followed by 19 core descriptors of what ADHD really is - concepts like: - ADHD kids are unable to be bored. - ADHD kids are ultra-focused. - ADHD kids have problems visualizing how long tasks will take. - ADHD kids get frustrated when told to shift from a stimulating activity to a less stimulating activity. The second step is to learn tried and tested parenting strategies. The authors walk parents through common challenges they may face with their ADHD child. But more importantly, they share solutions for those common problems; the same solutions they give their clients in therapy and in school staff meetings. In only125 pages, parents will understand ADHD and acquire proven ways to help their child succeed at home, in school, and in life.
