Summary of Dr. Sharon Saline & Laura Markham 's What Your ADHD Child Wishes You Knew

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 ADHD is hard for parents to deal with as well. They struggle academically, socially, and psychologically with their kids. They forget things, can't slow down, find it hard to focus, and are disorganized. #2 The goal of this book is to give you a road map to be an effective parent via the voices of children and teens with ADHD.
You'll elicit and listen to your child's stories about having ADHD, and respond empathically, supportively, and calmly. #3 The FIVE C's model relies on two things: strength-based thinking and attentive awareness. With strength-based thinking, you focus on your child's capabilities to help them build competence, self-confidence, and pride. With attentive awareness, you observe, listen to, and acknowledge what your child is saying. #4 When kids are faced with defeat, it's because they don't see other options for themselves in that moment.
When you put your heads together to invent alternatives and explore new choices about an issue that matters to you, the Five C's Parenting kicks in.
