Book Description

From the author of the highly successful Maybe You Know My Kid comes a desperately needed follow-up–the first comprehensive guide for dealing with the unique challenges of raising an adolescent with ADHD.

Adolescence is a tumultuous turning point for everyone, but for teens with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, it can be especially challenging, and for some of their parents, downright terrifying. Predictably, stress ensues over inconsistent or poor school performance and over inevitable decisions regarding higher education and life after high school. Adolescents with ADHD get more traffic tickets, have higher school-expulsion and drop-out rates, and are more likely to experiment with alcohol and drugs.

Maybe You Know My Teen brims with management strategies for parents new to ADHD as well as those who have coped with it throughout their child’s life. Explaining the roots of the disorder clearly and extensively, while discussing situations most likely to cause symptoms to manifest themselves, ADHD authority Mary Fowler presents step-by-step advice, along with in-depth personal stories and first-person advice from leading experts in the field. This is the one-of-a-kind lifesaver thousands have been awaiting.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Seasoned parents know that teenagers are different from children. The management strategies that work well with grade-schoolers need to be modified as they grow. Unfortunately, parenting books often don’t acknowledge this change. The mother of a child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a parent advocate, and a former middle-school teacher, Fowler has clearly had plenty of real-life experience in dealing with teens. Her suggestions for coping with the chaos of life with a difficult teen are all eminently practical. The chapter on medication, for example, not only discusses the types and dosages but also goes into great detail about how to deal with a teen who is reluctant to take pills. The chapter on out-of-control teens is honest in explaining that resources for helping them are woefully limited while emphasizing that many such young people can indeed turn around and become well-adjusted adults. Offering a welcome narrower focus than Paul H. Wender’s ADHD in Children, Adolescents, and Adults (LJ 10/15/00), this is highly recommended for public library parenting collections and academic libraries serving educators.

Review

“Exceptionally clear, well organized, and practical. Parents reading this will gain insight, ideas, and, most of all, a sense of hope. It should be on the night table of every parent with teenagers who have any ADHD-related difficulties.”
–Maurice J. Elias, Ph.D., author of Raising Emotionally Intelligent Teenagers
