Parenting children with ADHD, whether diagnosed or undiagnosed, can be
challenging and complex. But just as a child who struggles with reading
can learn to decode words, children with ADHD can learn patience,
communication, and solution-seeking skills to become more confident,
independent, and capable. This book, rich with optimism, tips, tools,
and action plans, offers science-based insights and systems for parents
to help cultivate these skills.
Combining expert information with practical, sensitive advice, the eight
"key" concepts here will help parents reduce chaos, improve cooperation,
and nurture the advantages--like creativity and drive--that often
accompany all of that energy.
Based on author Cindy Goldrich's seven-session workshop entitled Calm
and Connected: Parenting Kids with ADHD(c), this book focuses on
developing and strengthening effective interpersonal skills in both
parents and children as a way to improve conflict resolution.
Following the parenting principle to "Parent the child you have,"
Goldrich offers advice to help readers tailor their parenting to meet
the needs of their unique child. The book also leads parents to
recognize the value of being a leader and a guide to children, building
parents' confidence in their decision-making, and giving children a
sense of safety, security, and confidence.
The principles outlined in 8 Keys to Parenting Children with ADHD are
appropriate for parenting kids of all ages--until they have "launched"
and are on their own.
