"An empathetic, personal and practical approach for parents craving
relief from the wide-ranging childhood impact of ADHD." (Mark Bertin,
MD, author of Mindful Parenting for ADHD)
Parents: This audiobook is for you.
Most of us need help to overcome the challenges of parenting a child
with ADHD. Watching your bright, vibrant child struggle with ADHD can
make you feel helpless, especially when you don't have the tools to help
them succeed. There is a great deal of help available for children with
ADHD, but there simply aren't enough resources for parents of ADHD
children - and you need support just as much as your child.
The National Institute of Mental Health recognizes that frustration,
blame, and anger are common in families with ADHD children. Children
with ADHD need guidance and understanding from parents to reach their
full potential. Yet it can feel impossible to manage the challenges you
experience as a parent in order to be the support your child needs.
Diane Dempster and Elaine Taylor-Klaus are ADHD coaches, educators, and
the cofounders of ImpactADHD. They started off just like you, feeling
frustrated and lost about how to help their ADHD children - and how to
take care of themselves as well. Since that time, they have become
national leaders in the world of ADHD, representatives of the voice of
parents, and the go-to experts for parenting children with ADHD. They
have successfully armed thousands of parents with the tools they need to
help themselves and their children with ADHD.
In Parenting ADHD Now!, Diane and Elaine combine their practical
know-how and professional expertise to offer immediate, actionable
strategies you can use to guide and support your ADHD child
compassionately and effectively.
The material presented in this audiobook is grounded in three main
concepts:
- Apply the coach approach to parenting - This unique method gives you
permission to pay attention to yourself, build up your own confidence
and self-esteem, and apply these tools when working with your child
with ADHD.
- Use real, practical strategies - Learn to effectively navigate the
complex terrain of ADHD, confidently minimize ADHD-related stress in
your family, and foster your child's independence.
- Focus on the parent - This is not about "fixing" your ADHD child. This
is about shifting your focus inward and empowering yourself so you can
empower your child as they navigate life with ADHD.
You can dramatically improve life for your child with ADHD. With
Parenting ADHD Now!, you will learn to set healthy limits, find
compassion and acceptance, change your habits, laugh instead of cry,
understand instead of yell, and thrive instead of just survive.
