Summary
Does your heart break every time you see your child struggle academically, socially, and emotionally because of their ADHD symptoms?
Are you worried that your pre-teen’s condition will hinder them from having a happy and successful life during their teenage and adult years?
Do you want to equip your child with the skills they need to thrive as they grow up, but don’t know exactly where to begin?
Whether you’ve only learned about your pre-teen’s diagnosis recently or you’ve been trying to manage their condition for quite some time, you may find yourself constantly overwhelmed, stressed, and even frustrated…and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
You are not alone in your situation–the fact is, ADHD is considered the third-most-common mental health disorder among children across the globe.
The good news is, just like any other child’s brain, your pre-teen’s mind is still developing, and will continue to develop. This means that with your help, love, and care for them, your young one can learn the skills that they need, develop their strengths, and realize their dreams.
After all, a lot of individuals who have been diagnosed with ADHD thrived in their respective fields–just look at Hollywood star and modern female role model Emma Watson, business magnate Bill Gates, basketball legend Michael Jordan, and even Renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci.
This just proves that when kids are given the right opportunities and proper support, their life with ADHD can be truly amazing.
Fortunately, this book contains everything you need to be able to help your child–it can serve as your roadmap to navigate the challenging world of ADHD.
Inside, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:
- Nineteen skills that your pre-teen must know to be adept and self-sufficient in the years to come.
- A crash course on ADHD: know more about what your child goes through so you can offer them the right type of help.
- A holistic approach to equipping your pre-teen for life–from developing healthy habits, learning social skills, managing emotions, building a routine, and making decisions.
- Different ways to manage their condition, because contrary to popular belief, addressing ADHD takes more than just pills.
- What “executive age” is, and the crucial role it plays in your child’s development.
- Six things you should avoid at all costs while trying to help your pre-teen.
- Over 20 self-care tips for you as a parent–help yourself so you can help your child.
- The secret weapon of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps that made him overcome the struggles of ADHD and find success.
And much more.
Despite what you may have heard before, ADHD does not come from bad parenting–you are not to blame for your child’s condition.
However, the way you respond to your pre-teen’s situation can make a long-lasting difference in their life.

Helpful, practiacl and educational
This book was an excellent listen for educating you on how to help your child live their best life with ADHD successfully. The author has structured the book in an easy-to-digest manner, keeping me engaged throughout my entire listen. I learned so much, but the specific areas where I gained the most value were what diet to provide your child to help regulate ADHD and what treatments to administer to control the condition. I especially liked the advice on what herbal treatments you can use as alternatives, as this is rarely mentioned in most ADHD literature, and I really appreciated the fact that the author has gone the extra mile to include this.
I learned a lot from the sections on helping your child with ADHD deal with emotions and how to cope with bullying, as this is a very hard time for pre-teens in general. The techniques and strategies that are offered are very helpful and conveyed in a professional manner, and I am sure if applied correctly, they would contribute to solving these problems. Overall, great book, and highly recommended.

An Impactful, empowering text
As the mother of a child with special needs, this book instantly resonated with me. I am attracted to it partly because it was written by a parent like myself, who is keen to empower their child to navigate the world, grow and thrive.
The book is well-researched and beautifully presented in easy-to-understand language. It is particularly useful for new parents of children with ADHD who may feel uncertain about the path ahead. I find especially interesting the wide range of treatments mentioned, including dietary supplements, medication, music therapy, behavioral social skills training, and lifestyle changes, among others.
There is no doubt that parenting a pre-teen with ADHD can be challenging but armed with the right information and support this task can be embraced and enjoyed. The book is packed with invaluable information that will empower every parent of a child with ADHD to develop the confidence necessary to help their child develop skills and competencies that prepare them for life.

Informative and very useful
Raising a son with ADHD has been hard for us as parents and we've only just started learning more about how to handle our sons outbursts better. This audible was great at giving clear steps and guidance. Our favourite chapter was dealing with emotions, something we haven't been good at ourselves and this chapter was a complete game changer for all of the family. This is highly recommended for parents in a similar position to us who wants to make life easier and happier for everyone.

Valuable Book For Parents!
This book is a comprehensive resource for anyone dealing with ADHD in children. Whether your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, you suspect they may have it, or you simply want to learn more about it, this book is a valuable resource. It covers a wide range of topics, including gaining a deeper understanding of ADHD, how children with ADHD interact socially, and strategies for dealing with bullying.
I personally connect with this book because my son was misdiagnosed, and I regret putting him on medication when it wasn't necessary. If I had read this book before seeking medical help, I would have better understood ADHD. I highly recommend this book to others in similar situations.
