Yes! You Will Understand Your Teen With ADHD by Jaycee Donovan

Compassionate and informative, Yes! You Will Understand Your Teen With ADHD by Jaycee Donovan is a hands-on guide for parents who are dealing with ADHD in their families, full of practical tips and background research that will help parents understand ADHD better, while also improving their relationship with their children.

As Donovan outlines, ADHD in teenagers can manifest itself with high-level anxiety, depression, and anti-social behaviors that can cause trouble at school and tension at home. Often these symptoms are misunderstood as bad teenage behavior, which will not only worsen the relationship between parents and child, but can also inflict life-long damage.

Writing knowledgeably about the different stages of coping with ADHD, from diagnosis to setting up a successful daily routine, Donovan details the core ADHD symptoms to help parents realize what will be manifesting over time. From there, she outlines specific strategies to help kids acquire the tools to live a happy and healthy life, such as setting up a safe environment for the teens to express themselves, learning how to openly communicate with them, and how to involve professionals.

Insightful, clear, and empathetic, this book can act as an effective companion guide to professional treatment, help with making an initial diagnosis, as well as provide useful tools for any parent looking to nurture a healthier relationship with their growing child.
