Understanding and Supporting Kids with ADHD & Behavioral Wonders is a compassionate, clear, and practical guide for anyone raising, teaching, or caring for children who experience the world a little differently. Whether you're a parent navigating daily routines with an endlessly energetic child, a teacher seeking new strategies to reach your students, or a caregiver trying to better understand the behaviours you see, this book offers insight, encouragement, and real-world tools to help.

Written by seasoned child mental health counsellor Marcus Raithe, this book explores ten key areas that affect children with ADHD and other behavioural differences, highlighting the importance of empathy, structure, and supportive partnerships. But more than that, it shifts the focus from what's "wrong" to what's wonderfully unique. These children don’t need to be “fixed”—they need to be understood, supported, and seen for the amazing individuals they truly are.

The journey begins by unpacking what ADHD actually is—beyond the stereotypes. Through friendly explanations and relatable examples, listeners will gain a fresh perspective on why some kids fidget constantly, struggle with attention, or act on impulse. Marcus invites you to move beyond the idea of “naughty” behaviour and into a more compassionate space: one that views all behaviour as communication and looks beneath the surface to understand what a child is trying to say.

From there, the book explores how to spot signs that your child might need extra support—whether it’s frequent tantrums, emotional outbursts, or difficulty making friends. Marcus gently walks listeners through the power of a diagnosis—not as a label, but as a useful map. Knowing what’s going on gives families and professionals a clearer path toward the kind of support that makes a difference.
