I am looking for help with a newly diagnosed 8 year old with ADHD. My wife and I have no idea how to parent this and are looking for some support.

Book or also on Audible:

These authors are all featured on Additude Magazines website as well. It’s a journey but you are not alone.

Hi, I'm not the best example of success, but if I can give one piece of advice from experience alone, it is that when it comes to ADHD something even better than medication is to have someone to talk to who not only understands you but supports you. I didn't have that with my parents, and I feel it would have made a huge difference in my life. I'm sure things will get better for you.

Not what you're looking for?
