OverviewUnderstanding and Supporting Kids with ADHD & Behavioral Wonders is an uplifting, insightful, and deeply practical guide designed for the adults who care most about children who experience the world just a little bit differently. Whether you're a parent, teacher, carer, or family member, this book will help you better understand ADHD and behavioural challenges-while focusing on what truly matters: connection, compassion, and capability. Written by child mental health counsellor Marcus Raithe, this book isn't about ""fixing"" kids. It's about recognising their uniqueness, understanding what drives their behaviour, and learning how to support them in ways that help them grow, thrive, and shine. Packed with relatable advice, practical tips, and a heart-forward approach, this guide is ideal for anyone supporting children who are energetic, impulsive, distracted, or struggling to fit into typical systems that don't always value their strengths. Across ten easy-to-read chapters, Marcus walks readers through essential topics-from understanding what ADHD really looks like beyond the stereotypes, to recognising the early signs that a child may need extra support. You'll learn how to see behaviour as a form of communication, helping you decode those big outbursts, constant fidgeting, or defiant moments not as ""bad behaviour,"" but as expressions of unmet needs or misunderstood feelings. One of the core messages of this book is the importance of collaboration. You'll discover how to build a strong partnership with your child's school, including how to talk to teachers, advocate for accommodations, and create consistency across home and classroom environments. The book provides actionable strategies for bringing calm and structure into everyday routines without becoming rigid or punitive. You'll find suggestions for visual schedules, checklists, and positive reinforcement-all designed to help children feel secure and capable. Marcus also explores therapeutic support beyond medication, giving clear explanations of behavioural therapy, social skills training, occupational therapy, and mindfulness practices. Whether your child benefits from medication or not, you'll gain a better understanding of the wider support landscape-and how to build a team around your child that fosters confidence and emotional regulation. Another key focus of this book is helping children feel proud of who they are. Marcus encourages readers to look beyond challenges and discover the remarkable strengths that often come with ADHD and behavioural differences-like creativity, humour, sensitivity, and determination. With encouragement and the right environment, these kids can grow into resilient, self-aware, and empowered individuals. The book also includes valuable guidance on building healthy routines around sleep, nutrition, exercise, and screen time-habits that directly impact attention, mood, and overall wellbeing. You'll learn how small, manageable lifestyle changes can make a big difference in helping your child feel more focused and balanced. And because parenting a child with behavioural challenges can be emotionally demanding, Marcus dedicates a chapter to you. He offers heartfelt encouragement, reminding caregivers that their own mental health matters. You'll find strategies for avoiding burnout, finding support, and building your own resilience along the journey. Throughout the book, Marcus writes with the warmth of a trusted guide and the clarity of a skilled professional. His voice is calm, kind, and never judgmental-ideal for anyone who wants to feel less overwhelmed and more empowered. If you're raising or working with a child who has ADHD or behavioural differences, Understanding and Supporting Kids with ADHD & Behavioral Wonders will leave you feeling better equipped, more hopeful, and deeply connected to the young person in your care.
