Homeschooling - Thriving with ADHD - Helping children, focus, self-regulate and succeed - REVIEW

 

Thriving with ADHD Workbook for Kids

Ellie Miller LCSW MSW, a pyschologist and Mother of an ADHD has written what seems to be the definite book on making progress with your ADHD child. Particularly if you're going to be homeschooling.

Which, as we all know, presents it's unique set of challenges.

Where Ms. Millers's book stands out from others in the genre is her plain language explanations of the treament methods and problems ADHD parents face. From the dual perspectives of a parent, and a family therapist.

While presenting a range of treatment options, including natural medication alternatives, The Author is quick to point out that these are not "cures."

"ADHD can't be "cured." However, the good news is that it's symptoms can be managed. And the condition alleviated to the point where almost normal functiioning is possible.
That said, although the passage of age may help, some people will never completely outgrow their ADHD symptoms.

As you will certainly have noticed if you have ADHD children of different sexes, boys tend to lean more toward classic symptons, like hyperactivity. While "quiet inattentiveness" is largely a female trait."
