Inhaltsangabe

Parenting a child with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can be exhausting and challenging. In Canada and the United States, close to 9 million children and teenagers have been diagnosed with this disorder, but most people don't know that almost 80% of these kids will also have other mental health issues, making life harder inside and outside the home.

In The ADHD Plus Phenomenon, Dr. Katherine G. Boyd draws from her long career in pediatric mental health to help parents address these additional challenges, including:

- Behavioral or conduct problems
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Gaming and/or social media addiction
- Learning disabilities
- Serious sensory issues

Each chapter tackles a different hard issue, such as how to respond to impulsive aggression and self-harming, how seriously you should take suicidal thoughts or threats, what to do about your child's lack of positive and consistent friendships, how to deal with the homework nightmare, and how to reduce family conflict to have a more peaceful household. Unpacking common misconceptions with scientific evidence, Dr. Boyd empowers families to support strengths and work through challenges together.

Every parent wants to see their child happy and successful. This book can prepare you to improve your child's life, bolster family relationships, and help your child with ADHD reach their full potential.
