Book Synopsis

Yes! You CAN understand your teen with ADHD is a powerful story of a mother's journey to support her child's struggle with late-onset ADHD, identify the complexities a teenager has to deal with when living with the disease, and find resolutions to the complexities.

For any parent with a child with ADHD, the diagnosis (and even getting the diagnosis) is overwhelming and scary. And without knowledge and sometimes being caught off-guard by the condition, parents are left feeling underprepared for ADHD management. This self-help book, and the content within, helps parents and teens living with ADHD control the symptoms and make things less frightening. It is based upon a mother's personal story and perspective, someone who feels she has learned a great deal from her experience, and that experience is worth sharing.
