Do you ever wonder what’s really going on in the minds of kids with ADHD? Dr. Sharon Saline, veteran psychologist and author of What Your ADHD Child Wishes You Knew: Working Together to Empower Kids for Success in School and Life, offers rare insights into how kids honestly think and feel about having ADHD and what best helps them. She assists professionals and parents to think differently about the challenges these children and teens face by examining a range of co-existing conditions such as anxiety, learning disabilities and oppositional defiant disorder.
Based on her unique, strength-based approach, “the 5C’s of ADHD parenting”, Saline shares a variety of helpful and practical solutions that integrate research about the developing brain with techniques for improving executive functioning skills related to daily life. Her collaborative approach integrates mindfulness, cognitive therapy and positive psychology while fostering cognitive strengths and building healthy social and familial connections. Armed with these techniques for better cooperation and less arguing, you can successfully nurture resilience and independence in your clients.
