Understanding ADHD – Without Losing Your Mind as a Family
Humour, heart and help – the frank family guide to ADHD
ADHD never affects just one person – it takes up space in the whole family, producing noise and laughter, tears and rage. When the breakfast table becomes a battlefield and homework a test of courage, what helps is not perfectionism but understanding. Berit Hullmann tells honest and warm-hearted stories about living with her family’s ADHD – stories featuring headphones in elevator shafts, impulsive outbursts and moments when affection is the strongest medicine. She explains what lies behind the diagnosis of ADHD and reveals how parents can learn to balance despair with tenderness. This book is a first-aid kit for everyone stuck in the chaos ADHD creates. And it helps parents support their children – without losing their minds.
