Description
A book for anybody who has, or works with, children (of any age) with 'out of control' behaviour, including parents, teachers, and healthcare professionals. Raising Attention busts commonly believed myths surrounding ADHD and 'naughty' children, discusses up-to-date neuroscience and genetics research in an accessible way, and provides practical tips that really make a difference to both children and the adults who care for them.
Written by bestselling childcare expert Sarah Ockwell-Smith, herself a mother of a young adult with ADHD, there are plenty of heartwarming and heartbreaking personal stories included to bring the book to life.
If you've ever felt exhausted, helpless, guilty, embarrassed, or shamed for your child's behaviour, this supportive and non-judgemental book is for you.
