Blake Taylor's mother first suspected he had ADHD when he, at only three years of age, tried to push his infant sister in her carrier off the kitchen table. As time went by, Blake developed a reputation for being hyperactive and impulsive. He launched rockets (accidentally) into neighbor's swimming pools and set off alarms in museums. Blake was diagnosed formally with ADHD when he was five years old. In ADHD and Me , he tells about the next twelve years as he learns to live with both the good and bad sides of life with ADHD. Blake's memoir offers, for the first time, a young person's account of what it's like to live and grow up with this common condition. Join Blake as he foils bullies, confronts unfair teachers, struggles with distraction and disorganization on exams, and goes sailing out-of-bounds and ends up with a boatload of spiders. It will be an inspiration and companion to the thousands of others like him who must find a way to thrive with a different perspective than many of us. The book features an introduction by psychologist Lara Honos-Webb, author of The Gift of ADHD, and a leading advocate for kids with ADHD.
Wenn ein Kind unter Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätsstörung (ADHS) leidet, fällt es ihm oft schwer, aufmerksam zu sein, und seine Impulsivität sowie starken Erregungszustände werden häufig als störend wahrgenommen. Kinder mit diesen Verhaltensweisen werden oft als unkonzentriert und unkontrolliert abgestempelt. Klinische Studien zeigen jedoch, dass viele Eigenschaften von Kindern mit ADHS tiefere Begabungen widerspiegeln, wie starke Vorstellungskraft, Erkenntnisdrang und außergewöhnliche Intuition. Dieses Buch bietet eine transformative Perspektive auf das betroffene Kind und dessen Symptome und enthält Übungen zur Unterstützung. Es richtet sich an Eltern von sechs- bis zwölfjährigen Kindern mit ADHS, die nicht nur die Symptome ihres Kindes verändern möchten, sondern auch bereit sind, ADHS als Stärke zu betrachten. Die Themen umfassen: Anderssein als Stärke, Unterstützung zur Veränderung des Kindes, Wiederherstellung der Selbstachtung, Advocacy für das Kind, die Gabe der Kreativität, ökologisches Bewusstsein, interpersonale Intuition, der Umgang mit einem überschwänglichen Kind, emotionale Ausdrucksfähigkeit sowie Strategien für den Umgang mit dem Schul- und Gesundheitssystem.
