The Survival Guide for Kids with ADHD

Do you have a hard time paying attention or staying still? Do you sometimes get yelled at for talking in class or moving around? Do you often zone out? Lose assignments? Fall behind in school? Have trouble controlling your behaviour? Maybe you have ADHD. This is a label grown-ups use to understand and help kids with these types of challenges. If you've been labelled ADHD, this book is for you. Look inside to find:

• what ADHD means and doesn't mean
• ways to make each day go better at home, at school and with friends
• how to deal with strong feelings like anger, worry and sadness
• the low-down on medicine many kids take for ADHD
• the dish on foods that can help you manage your ADHD
• fun quizzes that will help you remember what you're learning

In kid-friendly language and a format that welcomes reluctant and easily distracted readers, The Survival Guide for Kids with ADHD helps kids know they're not alone and offers practical strategies for taking care of oneself, modifying behaviour, enjoying school, having fun, and dealing (when needed) with doctors, counsellors, and medication. Includes real-life scenarios, quizzes, and a special message for parents.
