A good introduction to ADHD in boys with lots of useful tips and tricks for parents. Some of the information was more specific to the US, but most of the suggestions are applicable wherever you live. The authors also provide additional support material, such as a behaviour tracker and detailed planner to help implement their suggestions.

My son and husband are awaiting adhd assessment and this book has been such a source of information. It is a book I will keep handy and keep revisiting weekly.

A fascinating and useful book. Our twist on it is that we have two in our extended family with ADHD and one of them is Grumpy Grandad. The children are using parts of the book to "help" him ,especially with this time keeping and focus difficulties and our ADHD grandson had written a plan for him after reading parts of the book with his siblings and cousins. There is a lot of sensible coping mechanisms in this book ,written in a very accessible way.

What an amazing guide. This is much needed for parents who have children who are neuro typical. I don't myself but work in a school so know the difficulties that parents go through. This should be in every library!

Thanks to Booksgosocial and NetGalley for an invaluable help book for boys diagnosed with ADHD.
As a mum with a newly diagnosed 6 yr old boy who is not yet on meds books like this a super useful to gain insight on why they are how they are and what we as parents can do to help and to cope!
After going through the long process to get to the point of diagnosis and reading books like this which help to understand I also came to the conclusion that most likely at least 3 of my male siblings must have also been ADHD as children.
The Good news as adults it doesn't seem to be so much of an issue.
I will certainly take on board a lot of what the book advised and hopefully learn how to better manage my son especially when he tests our patience thoroughly.
Many many thanks!

This book contains information about ADHD, how it affects boys and offers tips and strategies on managing ADHD symptoms.
It is a 5-star guide for parents, carers and teachers who would like to gain introductory information about ADHD. It covers a range of relevant topics such as difficulties, teen years, treatment options.
There are case studies and resources as well.
I consider myself up-to-date about ADHD and would have benefited from more targeted, specific and less-commonly addressed topics and tips about some challenges (boundaries, playing video games, persistence, falling out with friends/how to help the children in/with these). Nevertheless, I still found it immensely valuable, and it helped me to read the advice structured in an easy to follow way. It was a nice recap, and comprehensive for those who are beginning their journey with ADHD. I particularly took a lot of value from chapter 9 onwards.
5/5 for beginners; those who are looking for a practical and general source on ADHD. 3/5 for those who have a bit more experience and expertise.

This book has a vast amount of information about ADHD that is easily accessible to someone who may know nothing about the condition. It is not written in a way that is hard to understand with lots of medical jargon. Everything is explained. It is simple and easy to understand. Each chapter at the end gives you a recap of what you have just read. There are lots of strategies to help you implement into your routine, not only for the child but also to help the parent too. Even though this book is American based and some of it works differently in the UK, it is still worth reading. This book is a great way to get to know more about ADHD, whether you're a parent or family member who wishes to get more insight on the condition.

So much information in this book but not over the top, I found that it really explained and broke things down for me to better understand my child. I would recommend this book for any parent, grandparent, or any adult with an ADHD loved one.
