Give Your Add Teen a Chance: A Guide for Parents of Teenagers With Attention Deficit Disorder

Book Description
PRACTICAL HELP FOR PARENTS OF ADD TEENS. Parenting teenagers is never easy-especially if your teen suffers from Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). ADD adds complications and challenges to adolescence that parents must understand in order to help their teens succeed in high school and into adulthood. Give Your ADD Teen a Chance provides parents with expert help by showing them how to determine which issues are caused by "normal" teenage development, and which are caused by ADD. It also looks specifically at the academic challenges ADD teens face, offering tips for academic success. Finally, the book enables parents to look objectively at their ADD teen, giving guidelines for discipline, guidance, and responsibility. "This book is especially valuable because very little help has been available for parents of teens with ADD. Dr. Weiss' information and presentations are practical and easy to read. Frustrated parents and their equally frustrated ADD teens have been waiting for this book!"-Angie Rose, Ph.D. "Dr. Lynn Weiss empowers us to listen to the cries of fear, frustration, and failure that today's teens and parents experience in their trek to understand and work through ADD. Lynn's ability to share her own experiences with ADD invites her readers to believe and trust their observations and intuition while honoring the needs of the growing adolescent with ADD. Because of one woman's courage to speak, parents and teachers will gain understanding and acceptance of a 'problem' society has hidden."-Margaret Arnett, M.Ed., program coordinator for the Colorado Corrections Alternative Program, Colorado Department of Corrections "This excellent book, written for parents with ADD adolescents, offers warmth, insight, information, and strategies on how to understand, approach, and support their children. Dr. Weiss examines the variables that intensify the complexity of development for these teens transitioning into adulthood. Most important, she offers hope and guidance to parents who are faced with the task of raising an ADD teen in an ever-changing society."-Charles J. Karulak, Ed.D., headmaster, The Winston School, San Antonio
