Description

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!

This book is a generous and grounded guide for families, like mine, navigating the realities of ADHD. Drawing from both personal experience and hard-earned understanding, the authors offer practical strategies, encouragement, and perspective at every stage of the journey. Our Guide to Navigating ADHD reminds readers that growth, grit, and flourishing are possible when challenges are met with intention, positivity, and care. It is a story thoughtfully shared through the unique and powerful lens of a mother and son.”

Meredith Sorenson Whitney, MD, PhD, double board-certified Psychiatrist (General Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry) and Neuroscientist

“Simultaneously instructive and healing, this guide provides creative and evidence-based strategies for supporting children with ADHD, not only directly through approaches for symptom management but indirectly through specific techniques for protecting caregiver health and well-being. The authors also strike a rare balance of truly celebrating the extraordinary strengths of people with ADHD while clearly detailing the challenges and serious impairment it often causes in a neurotypical world. Anyone who cares for or interacts with a child who has ADHD will benefit from the unique, transparent, vulnerable, and empowering perspectives offered here.”
