ADHD is the must-have, parenting bible, containing everything you need to know to raise a happy child with ADHD. Written by Jessie Hewitson, an award-winning journalist and mother of two wonderfully neurodivergent children, this book will explain what ADHD is, the diagnosis process, how to get support right at school, what to know about medication (and whether you should medicate), negotiating care with the local authority, and much more. Your child may be having a very difficult time at school, defiant at home due to the stress of not having their condition accommodated, or left hurt because they feel so misunderstood. This book will help you come up with a plan and leave you feeling less isolated as you navigate a condition that can come with a lot of judgement and challenges. Jessie knows from the many emails she gets from readers of her first book Autism that life can feel more manageable again when armed with the right information. With the invaluable advice and insights in this book, you will be empowered to centre happiness in your journey to care for your brilliant child with ADHD.

Klappentext

***Is your ADHD child struggling at school? Do they make friends, but find it difficult to keep them? Do your attempts to get them off their screens end in tears (and that's just you)?

Jessie Hewitson, award-winning journalist, ADHDer and parent to two fantastically neurodivergent children, has been there.

Here she asks whether ADHD is over diagnosed, is medication the solution, and how can parents best support ADHD kids to become the happiest version of themselves at school, in their friendships, and at home.

For more than a decade Jessie has been on a quest to better understand neurodivergent happiness and the many barriers young ADHD people face in finding it. Now she shares everything she has learned, including interviews with world-leading scientists, researchers and experts in the field. Combined with her own personal experience, ADHD will empower you to centre happiness in what can be a more complicated and ultimately more rewarding parenting journey.
