Overview
Build foundational communication, social-emotional, and decision-making skills to foster your child's independence. In this second edition of her bestselling book, ADHD expert Cindy Goldrich offers compassionate, science-backed tools to help parents support their child's growth in patience, communication, emotional regulation, and independence. With fresh insights, expanded strategies, and current research, this update emphasizes the crucial role of executive function, elaborates on important conversations parents should have with their children, and offers thoughts on helping children transition into post-high school life. With approachable action items and prompts, caregivers are guided through eight key concepts: getting educated, creating calm, strengthening connections, cultivating good communication, teaching collaboration, achieving clarity and consistency, setting impactful consequences, and navigating choices. Here parents will discover why traditional discipline often backfires, and learn how to foster the skills kids truly need to succeed--using empathy, collaboration, and practical solutions.
