2014 USA Best Book Awards Winner: Finalist, Parenting & Family

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.

The first book about ADHD I have been able to finish.

I want to help my ADHD son as much as I possibly can and parent him with the knowledge to do so. Unfortunately, I was “blessed” with my own ADHD so getting through an entire book feels nearly impossible. I currently have 7 books downloaded that are on the subject of ADHD. This is the first that I started and genuinely looked forward to starting again.
If you are looking for a book to explain the neuroscience behind the condition or about the brain chemistry, look elsewhere. BUT, if you want to read about someone who is going through exactly what you are going through, this is for you. Penny was blessed with her ADHD son and the desire to help him consistently through every hurdle and mountain they came to. Now, we are blessed with this book (and a couple more that I am excited to read next) and the guidance, empathy, and sigh of relief it provides.

Outstanding

This book is basically my life story. So comforting to know I am not alone in this journey. A million thanks.
