Desperate for help with your ADHD children? Tearing your hair out trying to understand why they don’t react or behave like other kids? Want to do the right thing - but don't have a clue what that is? Help is at hand!

Sarah Templeton, a therapist with ADHD herself, has written this book after working with hundreds of ADHD parents from all over the UK who have told her, ‘’if only I’d known all this stuff while they were growing up’’.

Well, now all this information is in one place - in an easy-to-understand format. Skip straight to whatever issue you’re struggling with right now. The book uses real-life examples of what worked, what didn’t, and why.

Recommended by ADHD psychiatrists, ADHD pediatricians, SEN teachers, ADHD parents, and ADHD teenage clients. For anyone coming into contact with ADHD kids, including moms, dads, brothers, sisters, nans, grandads, uncles and aunts, and professionals.

Find out where your child’s ADHD came from. Find out about the three different kinds of ADHD. Discover the 30 or more ADHD traits nobody ever told you about. Learn how to best handle situations you may well find yourself in with your ADHD child. Hear real-life examples where therapeutic strategies and different ways of doing things have turned ADHD houses of horror into oases of calm and serenity.

Sarah Templeton is an English counselor, CBT therapist, and coach who has specialized in ADHD since her own shock diagnosis at the age of 51. Sarah has worked in four English prisons and been dismayed at the number of diagnosed, but more often undiagnosed, ADHD kids who end up in prison.

She witnessed for herself how unmanaged ADHD adolescents can fail catastrophically at school, often leading them to experiment with drugs or alcohol and fall so easily into a life of addiction, unemployment, homelessness, and crime.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough! This author understands ADHD more fully than most any expert out there. Not only did she provide insight at every turn, but she was funny and truly hopeful in the process. I have recommended this book to many others, especially in audible format because her fabulous British accent. I was sorry to hear “The End” and wished I could figure out how to enlist her as my therapist!

The most insightful ADHD book I’ve read

Ive read 10+ books on ADHD to try and understand my child and this is the best one by far. First of all, she does a fantastic job weaving together the science of what is going on in their brain and body, with what it may look like in behavior. Second, it is entertaining which made me more engaged. I loved how each chapter explained a different trait and clearly defined what to do and not to do. There were many aha! moments for me in reading this and it has helped me understand my child's behavior better. highly recommend.

One of the best books on ADHD I've read

If you have a child in your life that you care about who might have ADHD don’t hesitate and buy this book. It’s so good and useful that I bought the paperback version as well.

You need this book!

Although Ms. Templeton states that the best and essential ADHD treatise is "Driven to Distraction", I respectfully disagree. She has produced an equally important addition to not only understanding a child's ADHD, but...to understanding our "inner child" as well. She succinctly explains the various aspects of the condition and offers excellent suggestions. And a delightful narrator too.. However, as much as I appreciate her...the cartoon on the cover has to go! She-and the "representative" child- deserve better.

Essential addition to the ADHD library

Ignore the cover - this is the easiest to enjoy book on adhd I’ve found and I’ve gone through about a dozen now. She speaks about specific traits and triggers for your kid(s). Honestly, she’s also giving me many flashbacks to high school difficulties as well. Most books are overly general and dry. This I’m already relistening to. I hope she writes more books!

More insight than most adhd books

Very informative! I was reading it for a child I work with only to realize I probably have adhd too!

Love it!

So, I didn't give 5 stars overall because not all the information in here is representative of the broad spectrum that is ADHD. The author has her experience primarily with juvenile offenders and this book is skewed towards that and some parents might be terrified that their darling child will become one as well. Trust me not all kids/people with ADHD lie, steal, have violent outbursts...

I am a mom of an ADHD kid that is significantly impacted. He is honest to a fault and doesn't have violent outbursts. And he's the oldest so that means younger siblings. When he gets mad he says "Ugh! I'm so mad right I need to go sit down in my room!"

So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE know that this is a spectrum and not all people that have it exhibit these negative and frightening things. Also, in the USA the pediatrician is able to treat ADHD and you don't have to go through a therapist. Indeed, just because someone has ADHD doesn't mean they need therapy.

If your kiddo, someone you love, care for, or even yourself has ADHD this book is good as a resource for some tips and tricks. Some of which I have begun to use, and she does give some great insight and reminders. But don't make this your only resource.

Totally agree that medication is highly beneficial and if properly medicated early on then your baby is less likely to get into the kind of trouble prevalent in this book.

Some Great Info

I’ve read and listened to a ton of books but this one really hit home and helped me better understand both of my children

Wonderfully helpful!

Enjoyed the narration by author and found the book very helpful. I think it’s a great starting point for parents trying to understand their child. Very informative. I plan on listening again and strongly recommend this book to anyone needing to gain a better understanding of adhd and how to help support their child.

A great book

wow! this book exceeded my expectations and I feel ready to help Munson with his ADHD struggles. wealth of first hand knowledge from a reliable source. I especially loved the part about medication. this is such a difficult topic for us parents with newly diagnosed children. the author steps you through the various options and gives first hand insight to how helpful the medication can be. I have recommended this book to my husband and several friends battling similar struggles. very, very good read!
