Superparenting for ADD
Synopsis
Drs. Edward Hallowell and Peter S. Jensen, both with personal and professional experience with ADD, offer a new perspective on parenting children with ADD. They challenge the common view of ADD as a disability, instead focusing on the strengths and positive aspects of the condition. This guide provides practical, strength-based techniques, including fostering unconditional love, recognizing positive "mirror traits" in challenging behaviors, and utilizing a five-step "Cycle of Excellence" to help children develop self- and social awareness.
