The Power of Parenting Boys with ADHD: Easy Proven Methods to Manage Impulsive Behavior, Improve Focus, Strengthen Emotional Resilience, and Reinforce Academic Success by Beacon House Press, Lorena S. Toscano
Think my duahter ms've read this book because everything they tell you to do she has done. They ahve charts up for daily challenges, organizational charts, grandson loves organizing anything. When we go to visit he loves to bake with us. takes a bit longer because you can no spill dough on muffin tins or you have to clean it first before filling another one. It's challenging but a peaceful chore and he loves to help. He has so many skills and brain power I wish I had and I can tell when he asnwers that he's thought about something deeply and it's something over my head. Love how his brain works, it's helped in crisis on top fo Mt. Rainier and we had to be towed back home, some few hundred miles away.
Book explains how the brain works for boys, and what signs to look for during their lives. I even know some of the triggers before he blows up so we can all prepare. He definitely has daily routines with everything organized. He has pre sets or clothes to wear in cubicles in his room for the week. Bathroom cabinets are labelled and only certain things can go in some of them. He did allow us to place a bathmat in tub, grab bars and even a stone mat when you leave the tub. It dries your automatically, like a clay pot sucking up the water. He is ok with some changes. Sometimes when he doesn't want to go with us to a store he will sit in the car and play with his animal friends or transformer.
Love family challenges listed also. We always have game day while there playing different card games, chess and board games, such fun.
If you know anyone who needs assistance with raising a ADHD boy this is the book for you. References are listed at the end.
