For parents navigating the complex world of ADHD, this guide delivers a practical roadmap through diagnosis, daily management, and long-term planning. The book systematically addresses core concerns—from building executive function skills to making informed medication decisions—while cutting through common misconceptions about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. O'Regan provides clear communication strategies that help strengthen parent-child relationships, moving beyond theory into actionable techniques.

Rather than offering quick fixes, it builds sustainable strategies for supporting a child's development across home and academic environments.
