Most books on ADHD don't dare expose the genuine grit of the moment-by-moment peaks and valleys of this special parenthood - the gut-wrenching, crying on the bathroom floor, feeling like you're losing your mind truth of the matter that is learning to successfully parent a child with ADHD. Boy Without Instructions: Surviving the Learning Curve of Parenting a child with ADHD changes that.

Williams shares her unfiltered thoughts and emotions during her progression through this learning curve during this harrowing ride. Right before your eyes, this initially grief-stricken momma transforms from obsessed-with-ADHD control-freak and helicopter mom to optimistic and (mostly) confident parent of a child who happens to have ADHD. Boy Without Instructions validates your grief and guilt, yet reveals that it's truly possible to craft a (mostly) joy-filled life for your child with ADHD, yourself, and your family.

My Life!

I wish I had found this book years ago. This is my life: the homework battles, the outbursts. etc.

your not alone

really enjoyed this book. definitely helped me realize that I am not alone in this. helping me understand that it's not my parenting and he just can't help himself sometimes.

Well told, so tragic that this keeps happening to our ADHD children

Well documented chronicle of the learning curve of raising a child with ADHD. This story could have been mine. I find it so tragic that there is a lack of knowledge about ADHD, and lack of help for families navigating this challenge. The author offers insights into successful strategies for helping to support the child.

What did you learn from Boy Without Instructions that you would use in your daily life?

To just let my kid be as wonderful as she is

Wow. Really helpful to this momma.

Our son has ADHD and a couple of other medical conditions that have had us banging our heads and crying and struggling with how to help him thrive. Penny’s story is inspiring. Her son’s condition is worse than ours, but I was nodding my head a lot at having the exact same thoughts and feelings. I’m going to make my husband listen to this, too!
