The Gift of ADHD by Lara Honos-Webb

TITLE: The Gift of ADHD: How to Transform Your Child's Problems into Strengths

AUTHOR: Lara Honos-Webb, Ph.D.

FORMAT: BOOK

LOCATION CODE: ADD307

GENERAL INFO: If you’re a parent of a child with ADHD, you already know about your child’s difficulty paying attention, as well as his or her impulsivity and agitation. And you know all too well about the labels these behaviors attract - disruptive, unfocused and out of control.

What you might not know is that clinical studies suggest many of the traits kids with ADHD exhibit can be expressions of deeper gifts: powerful imagination, searching insight, and unusual intuition. This compassionate book will help you learn to think differently about your child’s behavior. It will show you how to transform your vision of your child and your relationship with your child and his or her symptoms.
