An empathetic, personal, and practical approach for parents seeking relief from the challenges of raising a child with ADHD. Many parents feel helpless when their bright child struggles, lacking the necessary tools to support their success. While there are resources for children with ADHD, parents often find themselves without adequate support. The National Institute of Mental Health acknowledges that frustration and anger are common in families dealing with ADHD. Children require guidance and understanding from their parents to reach their full potential, yet managing these challenges can feel overwhelming. Diane Dempster and Elaine Taylor-Klaus, ADHD coaches and cofounders of ImpactADHD, share their journey from feeling lost to becoming national leaders in ADHD parenting. They have helped thousands of parents gain the tools needed to support both themselves and their children. This book combines their practical know-how and expertise to provide immediate, actionable strategies for compassionate and effective parenting. The material is grounded in three key concepts: applying a Coach-Approach to Parenting, using real strategies to navigate ADHD's complexities, and focusing on the parent’s empowerment rather than trying to "fix" the child. By shifting your focus inward, you can dramatically improve life for your child, set healthy limits, foster independence, and thrive as a family.
