Important notice
This is an educational book. It explains what published research and expert guidance suggest, and how the ideas can be applied. It is not medical, psychological, legal or financial advice, it does not diagnose or treat any condition, and it is not a substitute for a qualified professional who knows your circumstances. If you are concerned about your own or a child's health, speak to a clinician.
The problem
Almost all the advice about ADHD children is written as though the child is the only one in the house with ADHD. If you are the parent with ADHD too, the advice asks you to run a system with the exact executive function it assumes you have.
What it does
- Names the two-brain problem plainly, without blaming either brain
- Gives one rhythm a household can actually run, instead of a routine that lasts three days
- Scripts the flashpoints — mornings, homework, bedtime — before they happen
- Shows how to keep a record that gets taken seriously at school and in appointments
What is inside
- Map the Two Brains in Your House
- Build One Rhythm That Fits Both Brains
- Write the Scripts Before the Flashpoints
- Run the Family Meeting That Changes the House
- Handle the Outside World Without Shrinking
- Build the File That Gets You Taken Seriously
Who it is for
- Parents with ADHD raising a child with ADHD
- Parents who have read the standard advice and found it assumes a brain they do not have
- Parents who want something to run tonight, not a theory
Who it is not for
- Anyone looking for a diagnosis — that is a clinician's job
- Parents seeking medical advice about medication or treatment
- Anyone wanting a long academic review of the literature
