Beginner’s Guide to Raising ADHD Kids by Rubye Marshal shares years of research into a condition that has affected several members of her family. The author identified a lack of practical information for families about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Marshal compiled her findings into a comprehensive manual, detailing the causes of ADHD, ways to identify it, methods for helping children develop the tools they need for emotional and mental growth, and dispelling the myths that stigmatize the condition. The first section analyzes ADHD and its impact on the family, but the second part outlines strategies for coping with ADHD in children and helping them acquire the skills they need to become more self-sufficient.
Rubye Marshal does a brilliant job of relating the most pertinent information to her readers in a conversational tone. The book takes readers through the condition, its diagnosis, approaches to help children regulate their emotions, and refutes myths associated with ADHD. The text helps caregivers feel less isolated, and the author encourages them to seek time to decompress and provides references to assist them. Those who are experiencing the effects of ADHD themselves or in their homes will identify with the examples that cut to the heart of daily life. Motivational and sometimes inspirational advice is given to help caregivers provide ways for children to cope with their differences and regulate their emotions. Beginner’s Guide to Raising ADHD Kids is the perfect book for caregivers who are responsible for a child who displays symptoms of ADHD. Additionally, young adults and other readers could benefit from the material if they have wondered if they are neurodiverse and whether they need to seek testing for ADHD.
