How NOT to Damage Your ADHD Adolescent

Sarah Templeton is passionate about ADHD teenagers. And that includes yours! She met far too many ADHD adolescents in Young Offender Institutes when she was a Prison Counsellor, and, without exception, none of them had had strong parental support. A lot of them had had no support whatsoever, and certainly nobody understanding their ADHD brain. So for mostly very silly, minor misdemeanours they had ended up behind bars. Sarah then went into private practice counselling ADHD teenagers, all of whom she bonded with instantly. For one very simple reason. She had the same brain as them - she ‘got’ them. What Sarah wants more than anything in this book is to help you understand your own ADHD teenager’s brain. How it works, how it thinks, how it’s different to other peoples’ brains and how to ensure your ADHD adolescent gets the very best start in life. Her goal is to help YOU to understand them so THEY have a hassle-free puberty and you don’t have a breakdown trying to make that happen! If you don’t understand an ADHD brain, it’s very easy to damage a teenager’s self-esteem and feelings of self-worth. It is this damage that Sarah wants to limit. Sarah will explain in detail the ADHD traits your ADHD teen is dealing with and take you through all the situations you are likely to find yourself in and explain how best to manage them. “Since using the strategies Sarah suggests our home life has been completely transformed” She cares deeply about every ADHD teenager and their future and she will do her very best to make sure they get the right understanding and support from the word go. “The way Sarah has described ADHD is so relatable and yet practical. You just know she is on your side, not taking down at you or lecturing you as we all know that doesn’t help”
