Children with ADHD struggle so much with inattention or hyperactivity and impulsivity that they have trouble succeeding at home, at school, with friends, or on the playing field. Arranged in a series of lessons to be taken “one at a time,” this book shows how you can become your child’s best advocate, helping to improve attention, behavioral control, and social skills. Updates to this edition include information on new diagnostic tests, medications, and treatments; tips to help your school district create a safe for your child; and a new chapter on teaching life values, such as generosity and kindness.

Teaching Life Skills to Children and Teens with ADHD features practical strategies for helping children and teens develop essential life skills at home, school, or in a support group setting. Some of these skills include: • Engaging others in conversations • Seeking out confidence-building experiences • Responding appropriately to teasing • Establishing friendships and social networks • Trying group activities to avoid isolation • Developing healthy eating, sleeping and exercise habits • Solving problems and getting organized • Showing sensitivity to others’ emotions Each chapter includes exercises to help you teach, model, and guide your child in trying out these skills. Interactive checklists, quizzes, and guided journal entries are provided as tools for reflection and for engaging children and teens in ways that are interesting and fun.
