Pre-Owned Boy Without Instructions: Surviving the Learning Curve of Parenting a Child with ADHD (Paperback) 0991617800 9780991617807

Bookstores are filled with titles on ADHD from professionals and experts, but books from a momma's perspective are few and far between. Yet, hearing other parents' experiences raising a child with similar challenges is often therapeutic, reassuring, and even liberating. When her son was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of six, Williams found that some of the most helpful information came not from books on ADHD, the disorder, but actually from parents with similar experiences. And so this book was crafted to offer these special parents more of what they need -- validation and understanding from someone who has been where they are. Williams shares her unfiltered emotions during the progression of learning to parent a child with ADHD in the roller coaster ride that is Boy Without Instructions. This unapologetic, initially grief-stricken momma transforms from obsessed-with-ADHD control-freak and helicopter mom to optimistic and (mostly) confident parent of a child who happens to have ADHD. This candid compilation of been-there-done-that wisdom will validate your feelings and prove that you, Warrior Parent, are not alone.
