ADHD: The Comprehensive Parent's Guide

Available on Amazon.com in paperback and hardcover.

In ADHD: The Comprehensive Parent's Guide, clinical psychologist Kimberly B. Harrison, Ph.D. offers parents a compassionate, practical, and refreshing way to understand ADHD by helping them understand the brain beneath the behavior. Drawing upon 15 years of clinical experience evaluating and working with thousands of children and families, Dr. Harrison translates complex science into everyday language, helping parents replace frustration with understanding and uncertainty with confidence.

Inside you'll discover:
Why children with ADHD often know exactly what to do—but still struggle to do it consistently
Why attention, organization, emotions, and follow-through can be so challenging
Why traditional rewards and consequences don't always work the way parents expect
How Wagon Wheels and Ladders™ explain different thinking styles and why they matter at home, at school, and in relationships
Practical strategies that strengthen organization, emotional regulation, study skills, and independence
Guidance for navigating school, accommodations, medication, friendships, co-occurring challenges, and family life
 
Throughout the book, Dr. Harrison introduces The Control Tower Model™, a simple, practical way to understand executive functioning that helps parents make sense of everyday challenges and respond with greater confidence. Every child is more than a diagnosis.
