ADHD Demystification

To manage ADHD, it is crucial to understand everything from the type—inattentive, hyperactive, or combined—to the triggers and co-occurring conditions. Parents face unpredictable outbursts and emotional dysregulation, generating family stress and turmoil.

Knowing ADHD symptoms, school and social challenges, and behavioral strategies is vital, as is establishing routines and exploring treatments such as medication and therapy. Encouraging communication and seeking support are essential.

Self-care, patience, and empathy are key to managing ADHD, allowing for a stable and loving home, and demystifying ADHD for the child’s success.

Master Emotional Regulation

Parents often focus on teaching their ADHD-affected child emotional regulation, but mastering our responses is vital. The P.E.A.C.E. method—Pause, Empathize, Assess, Calm, and Educate—helps parents maintain composure in challenging moments.

Pausing to understand ADHD meltdown triggers lets parents empathize with their child’s turmoil. Objectively assessing the situation allows calm, structured interventions for a drama-free home. Implementing calming techniques creates a tranquil environment, essential for behavioral management.

Educating both child and parent on positive reinforcement and routines promotes self-regulation and impulse control. This holistic approach to ADHD interventions not only defuses explosive behavior but also strengthens the parent-child bond, turning conflicts into learning opportunities for the family.

Powerful Positive Reinforcement

Navigating ADHD can be complex, yet your child’s well-being depends on your support. Embrace a positive parenting approach, using empathetic communication and consistent routines to nurture and empower. Delve into strategies for managing ADHD explosive behavior, identifying ADHD triggers, and crafting calming techniques for emotional outbursts.

With special education tips for ADHD, bolster your child’s academic journey. Equip yourself with behavioral intervention tools and techniques for coping with ADHD at home. These strategies guide your child to be their best, happiest self, fostering successful friendships and self-regulation skills. More than discipline, this journey is about leading with love and understanding, helping your child thrive in life.

Take your first step toward a calmer and healthier relationship with your child

    I have read this book once and now going back to highlight the Information to reread over and over again. Im a single mom of 2 boys, one with ADHD and one without. It has been increasingly difficult to raise my son with ADHD as he has very explosive and violent behavior at the press of a button that triggers him. This book has made me feel validated in how I feel and what I'm going through with him is completely normal. It has helped me understand what my son needs from me and that although it seems he is purposely trying to push buttons it really isn't his fault or control over it. Highly highly recommend this book. You won't be sorry.

    Super helpful resource for any parent, guardian, teacher, or babysitter working with ADHD children. Whether you are familiar with the struggles of children with this condition or new to it, this book will help give you the strategies and perspectives you need to support and empower them. I appreciated that the author delved into the emotions of the child and not just the frustration of the parent. Empathizing with children who have this condition is so important to defusing difficult situations, and I think this author does a tremendous job coming at this topic from all perspectives. It will change the way you view tantrums, outbursts, and anger. Highly recommend!

    The strength of this book lies in its blend of expert knowledge and empathy. The author, with evident expertise in the field, breaks down complex psychological concepts into accessible and actionable insights. This ensures that parents, caregivers, and educators can grasp the underlying issues contributing to explosive behavior in children with ADHD and, more importantly, learn effective strategies to address these challenges.

    One of the standout features is the emphasis on understanding. The book goes beyond mere behavioral management, delving into the roots of explosive behavior. By encouraging parents to comprehend the neurological and emotional aspects of ADHD, the author empowers them to respond with empathy and patience, fostering a deeper connection with their children.

    Practical strategies take center stage, and the book excels in providing a diverse array of tools for parents. From communication techniques and behavior modification strategies to mindfulness exercises, each method is explained clearly and illustrated with real-life examples. This hands-on approach ensures that parents can implement these strategies with confidence, tailoring them to their child's unique needs.

    I haven't finished yet. I keep coming back and rereading certain things, because it is very insightful. My mind isn't like my son's and as wonderous as his is, it is also so frustrating at times. This has helped me with perspectives I didn't necessarily have previously. I have learned some calming methods and maybe they don't always work, but there are combinations and signs and ways to avoid the escalations. I am still learning. I will always be learning. Nothing is a one catch cure. This book helped me realize that.

    As someone who lives with and helps care for a severely explosive child. I was at the end of my rope. Google wasn't helpful and I needed some shred of hope and direction. This book was helpful. I have encouraged a lot of change and even had a few successful de-escalations since reading this book. This book helped me have a better understanding in how my nephews brain works. . I still have lots more to learn but this is a helpful resource. Although the resources listed in the back of the books, the names aren't entirely accurate. That's why it's only getting 4 stars from me. It's worth the read!

    The information in this book is so powerful. This topic can be so overwhelming as a parent. The diagnosis in itself can be a lot, but then navigating your child’s path to success in school increases the stress! This book gives very practical information so that when you go to your child’s school, you know what to ask, you know more of the lingo schools use and you understand the power you have as the parent! I 100% recommend reading this book and maybe even reading it again!!

    As an LCSW, I am always looking for good books to recommend to clients and parents regarding ADHD. Rose Lyons has written a wonderful book that I would highly recommend to anyone that deals with children who have ADHD. She starts at the beginning by reviewing the ADHD diagnosis and exploring all aspects of ADHD. Learning to become an advocate for your child is important as is helping your child regulate his/her emotions. The author covers those topics and many more in this book. One of my favorite parts of the book was “Triggering Phrases to Avoid.” This a great book to add to your bookshelf!

    Parenting has its challenges as-is, but when your child has ADHD that adds a new challenge to their daily lives-- both theirs and yours. This book aims to be a guide of how to help your child(ren) with being a safe place for them, along with practical skills and tools they can put in their box they can utilize when they feel a trigger in their lives.

    This book also covers the types of ADHD, commmon symptoms of what to look for, and ask about from your medical team.

    Included with these pieces of helpful information would also be techniques focused on helping the child on emotional regulation as with the neurodivergent folks out there know--- that can be an obstacle course in and of itself.

    It's also a good book to remind yourself that nothing is wrong with you or your child(ren) just they are just different in how their brain works and how they process reality.

    With this book, too, it's giving you the parent/guaridan tools to advocated for the child(ren) in your life so they can be the best version of themselves, too.

    This book is extremely well researched with the most up to date information. The author presents the information in multiple ways to help the reader see different points of view to gain a well-rounded understanding. There are so many wonderful strategies and tools to help you engage with your child and navigate the often times explosive situation. There are also a lot of information to help the parent with their own struggles in dealing with a child diagnosed with ADHD. Useful examples and situational strategies to make your response helpful and manage the situation rather than escalating the behavior. Just a great approach and a lot of information. HIGHLY recommend this for anyone who has a child with ADHD to not only understand your child but help you manage the day successfully for both of you.

    This book starts out with some basic ADHD information that can be helpful for parents who are new to the diagnosis. Parenting is hard, but parenting an ADHD child can be even harder. This book was validating in the challenges that are faced when parenting a child with ADHD. In addition, it was very helpful to be reminded of how an empathetic approach is crucial in order to work together and also not break the trust between child and parent.

    I liked how there was an emphasis on how we need to care for ourselves and to ask for help and take a break when needed. These are all important things for a parent in general but even more so when ADHD is in the picture.

    This book has a LOT of practical tips that are helpful for children with ADHD and those same things can be applied for non-ADHD kids. There are a lot of good reminders about how we need to be careful that in our own frustration and exhaustion that we don't say things that shame our children. It can almost feel overwhelming with all the content, but it is written in a way with lots of bullets that make it easy to read and easy to go back and reference for specific topics when necessary.

    I recommend this book for those not familiar with ADHD and/or have newly diagnosed children. The author does a wonderful job of clearly explaining what is ADHD and behaviors that come with it. First step to helping is understanding. I am not new to this diagnosis, so I didn't find the book personally helpful. I can recognize how it can be extremely helpful for others though! I do implement all the concepts mentioned in this book and it does work. Not a complete fix for anger/stubborn bursts, but it would be unrealistic to expect a cure-all solution for the obstacles that come with this neurodevelopmental disorder. Great guide to parenting a child with ADHD. Only reason I didn't do full stars was it wasn't personally helpful, as I mentioned already. I was hoping for more content and strategies, as it didn't introduce any new concepts for me. I'd rate it full stars if the author mentioned it is more for those newer to the world of adhd.

I've found myself highlighting several areas to go back to reread for myself and read to my husband. I feel that there are several tips that are helping me better handle situations that come up, as well as better speak with him. It is incredibly easy to read as well - theres no confusing wording.

    This is a very well written book about ADHD and it covers a lot of topics thoroughly. One of my favorite sections of the book was in chapter 4: “triggering phrases to avoid.” It provided many great talking points for how to discuss ADHD with your child and help them talk about it from the point of view of ADHD being a part of their life that doesn’t need to be minimized, but rather embraced.

    There were a lot of practical ideas to help a family dynamic be set up to function day to day for the success of EVERYONE in the family including siblings of the ADHD child and the main caregivers.

    Another part of the book focused on setting your kiddo up for success in social settings with various self-monitoring skills to practice and learn. A lot of real life practical examples are given to help clarify. There was also a lot of great material to help you advocate for your child in school settings such as: what to ask for, and what your legal rights are.

    The author also addresses how to navigate the different medication and non medication options with pros and cons for each. This is a very detailed and helpful section.

    My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD at 8, so I can sympathize with other parents in the same situation. We were fortunate that she was more introverted in her diagnosis and not explosive. Defusing Explosive Behavior was an awesome read, full of tips and techniques to try. Even if your child doesn't have ADHD, there are some great positive reinforcement activities that any parent can use.

    As an educator and guidance counselor, I can tell parents and others out there that this book will give you all the knowledge and tips and guidance you need to navigate this world of ADHD in your kid. This is a condition that needs empathy, patience, and love, and the reason why so many kids do not have this support they need to thrive is because parents and other caregivers are often ignorant of what these kids really need. Good job!

    ADHD is a neurodivergent disorder that presents many challenges for both the child and parents. Knowing triggers and self-regulation strategies can help process the strong emotions that come with this disorder. Written by a mother of two children with ADHD, the information in this book is presented in a very compassionate and understanding manner. The author doesn’t disregard the fact that managing ADHD can be difficult. However, she presents a positive perspective that includes ways to understand the emotional outbursts and remain calm and patient when diffusing heightened emotions. Attention-deficit hyperactive disorder is described in full detail in the first chapter. It describes the various types of ADHD, symptoms, and what to expect. Impulsivity and hyperactivity are symptoms of this disorder, so giving yourself time to pause, be mindful, and set explicit expectations will help ensure that when emotional outbursts ensue, you can help the child achieve emotional regulation. I especially appreciated Chapter 7, because it gives realistic ways to help manage ADHD at home. By setting clear expectations, having a consistent and structured routine, using both verbal and pictorial communication, providing regular exercise, and using positive praise and reward systems will allow your child to learn to adopt positive behaviors. Following the advice in this book will ensure that, even in difficult situations, you can build a strong, positive relationship with anyone diagnosed with ADHD.

    I would like to emphasize this point, "Finding the right methods may also require trial and error, as what
    works for one child with ADHD will not necessarily be the same for another child, even if they have the same
    ADHD symptoms." Every child is different and this book gives many suggestions that I have used but also a few I have not. Thanks!

    Thank you for the many ideas—clearly you have worked with children struggling with explosive behaviors. This book is written from the perspective of parents, which is extremely helpful and demonstrates a special sense of compassion that comes through the writing. While this is a page-turner, I found myself jotting down notes with page numbers to return and read again! This book will have tattered pages because I’m going to carry it in my purse for referencing again and again! I highly recommend!
