Raising Boys with ADHD: Secrets for Parenting Healthy, Happy Sons

This updated edition brings parents the latest research and treatment approaches for boys living with ADHD. Rather than focusing only on difficulties, it takes a strength-based view, helping families identify what their sons are good at and build on it. The guide covers ground that many parenting books skip, from the preschool years and early diagnosis through to the transition to work and college for teenagers.

Practical chapters are supported by an action-planning workbook, along with lists of resources and tools. The aim is to help boys grow into motivated, capable and independent adults, and to give parents practical steps and some real reassurance for the years ahead.
