Unlike your cousin’s famously behaved kid, boys with ADHD are going to challenge you. One minute you’re washing the dishes and thinking how well the day went; the next, you’re in the yard wondering why your vinyl fence is as pock-marked as France after a German retreat. The neighbor kids have scattered like lice in a daycare, and your son is looking at you like a whipped pup.

If, like Riley, you had one brief, glorious moment where your infant slept several hours and most of the night and you thought you were rocking the parenting gig, only to find yourself failing in most of the moments since then, you’ve come to the right place.

BETTER PARENTING FOR BOYS WITH ADHD: A PARENT’S GUIDE TO SUCCESS AND UNDERSTANDING will help you:

• Learn to manage the wild child who has more energy than a nuclear reactor.
• Improve communication skills with the people in your child’s orbit.
• Understand which unique type of ADHD you are dealing with, and how to parent towards your child’s specific needs.
• Get clear on the role that hormones play in your boy’s ADHD sandbox.
• Prepare that boy for life, where mom isn’t his personal secretary

Because we’re not only hoping that one day they’ll grow up and remember to pay their phone bill before they blow their paycheck on Uber Eats and gaming consoles, we’re also hoping that they’ll be the emotional rockstars of their generation. Creative geniuses who are capable of communicating their ideas because they didn’t offend everyone in the room. Hyper-focused heroes who solve the riddles of the universe. All of the above.

Maybe you’re here because you want your son to have everything life has to offer, and you understand that those things aren’t going to just fall into his lap. Or maybe you’re here because the dog just streaked past you and she was half-shaved with blue paint, and you lost your cool for what you hope is the last time. Either way, buckle up – taking this ride together.
