Review:
As a mother who has struggled with ADHD ad now having a son with ADHD I struggle to find way to help him cope with the internal thoughts that never slow down or his ticks that get out of control when his medication doesn't work.
Grace Friedman has the ability to guide readers with love, positive energy and a reminder that you are more than you ADHD.
She gives guidance to teens as well as parents to help teens learn to cope with the disability or ability.
This book isn't just for teens, parents but for educators and school counselor so they can better assist students, children and teens find the success they are looking for.
This is hands down on the of the best books I have read that gives open, honest look at ADHD.
