Synopsis

Adolescents (ages 12–20) with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at risk for academic problems, strained relationships, peer rejection, and unsafe behavior—and parents are often at a loss for how to handle these challenges. If Your Adolescent Has ADHD: An Essential Resource for Parents provides the up-to-date information and down-to-earth support that parents need. It offers an in-depth look at causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and parenting strategies.

Contrary to what was once believed, ADHD that starts earlier in childhood usually persists into the teen years. Yet even experienced parents are often caught unawares by the fresh challenges that adolescence brings. This book is one of the few to address ADHD in the context of teen friendships, dating, curfews, sports, and extracurricular activities. It also offers practical advice from a leading psychologist on determining readiness to drive and instilling good homework and study habits.

I must highlight that this book is American so a lot of the information re laws etc are not relevant outside the USA. The......more

Goodreads review by Andres

The content of the book is ok for those who have zero knowledge in ADHD, but the Audio Book version, narrated by Abby Craden, made it so uninteresting. Her voice in this production made me feel like she was reading it to a child or a feeble-minded parent.......more
