Description:

Ages:12 & Up. Written by James J. Crist, Ph.D. New and Revised Edition. Being a teenager is hard enough, with many competing pressures and expectations from parents, teachers, coaches, etc. For teenagers who suffer from ADHD, these pressures can be overwhelming. Written for a teenager who is tired of hearing, "You're just lazy!" and "I know you can do better!" this comprehensive guide features everything teens want to know about ADHD. Chapters address such concerns as getting through high school and college, depression, learning disabilities, and life after school is completed. The question and answer format of the book makes it easy to read.

This book is also a useful tool for parents and caregivers. This book can help parents and caregivers to understand what life is like for a teenager who has ADHD and become more sympathetic to what he or she is dealing with on a daily basis. There is a chapter specific for parents/caregivers, A Chapter for Parents, which deals with how you can help your child cope more effectively with ADHD.

This revised edition also covers the concept of executive functioning, highlights new treatments, addresses changes in school accommodations for students with ADHD, and includes an updated resources section. 201 pages, soft-cover.
