What Your ADHD Child Wishes You Knew: Working Together to Empower Kids for Success in School and Life (Unabridged)

A proven, practical roadmap to help ADHD kids succeed in school and life

Parenting a child or teen with ADHD can feel exhausting. If you’re tired of repeating yourself, managing power struggles, and wondering how to parent your child with ADHD without constant conflict, you’re not alone.

In What Your ADHD Child Wishes You Knew, psychologist and ADHD expert Dr. Sharon Saline offers a compassionate, research-based guide to ADHD parenting that helps families reduce conflict, improve communication, and strengthen connection.

Drawing on more than 25 years of clinical experience, neuroscience, and real conversations with children and teens, this practical parenting book explains how ADHD affects your child’s everyday behavior, communication, and emotional regulation--and most importantly, what parents can do about it.

Inside, you’ll discover practical ADHD strategies to:

• Reduce homework struggles and daily power struggles
• Improve executive functioning skills in kids
• Support emotional regulation and decrease meltdowns
• Build cooperation without yelling or shame
• Create ADHD-friendly routines that actually work
• Strengthen your parent-child relationship
• Increase confidence and independence in school and life

This book goes beyond discipline tips. It gives you a clear, step-by-step ADHD parenting framework that helps you work with your child’s brain instead of against it.

Because when children with ADHD feel understood, supported, and capable, they don’t just behave better. They thrive.
