ADHD - Raising an Explosive Child: The Last Parents' Guide You'll Ever Need to Turn ADHD Into a Super Power- Includes 20 Parenting Mistakes to Avoid Immediately

by Oliver Miller

Still struggling to help your ADHD child?

Do you see any or many of these signs and symptoms of ADHD in your child?

Loses important things
Disorganized
Distracted
No follow-through
Avoids mental effort
Doesn't listen
Inattentive
Careless
Spacey
Forgetful
Poor focus
If you’re seeing more than a handful of these characteristics, you can’t ignore them. These behaviors indicate a child who is not fully present and not able to embrace the joy available in life. With these behaviors, often they find it impossible to interact in a cooperative, productive, and fulfilling way with other people. They don’t do as well in school, and this affects their future career possibilities.

When your child acts up with the symptoms of ADHD, it can put you right on your “last nerve”, and you want a solution. But you’re also recognizing that simply giving your child a pill every day may not be the best or most responsible thing to do.

Sure, you can get specialized testing and simply “get a pill”, or you can be a real parent and learn the true meaning of their behavior, as well as what you can do to help.

There is a solution to help a child with ADHD without medication.

I’m here to tell you that there is a solution for the symptoms you’re seeing in your child. And we’re not talking about controlling or minimizing the symptoms of ADHD. That’s not nearly enough. We’re talking about a real transformation where your child becomes truly happy, fulfilled, responsible, and, well, a human being again - almost always without the use of medications, which have a serious list of possible long-term side effects.

You can do this, so let's get started.

2.5 stars rounded up.
Some good and helpful info, but occasionally some outdated parenting advice is included ie: spanking.

I also felt the tone changed a few times throughout the book and I'm uncomfortable with a book published as late as 2023 using descriptors like "normal children" to refer to neurotypical children.

While I found certain parts of the book, like chapter 13, to be somewhat helpful I don't know that the title of this book is accurate. 😅 "The last parents guide you'll ever need"? The book did a lot of explaining what ADHD is and what the symptoms of it can be but there were very few actual practical steps to take to help with meltdowns or other behavior issues. Several parts seemed to repeat themselves or use circular reasoning. I found chapter 13 somewhat helpful in that it expressed common phrases that we often say during bad behavior that are unhelpful for ADHD children. I recognize several of the phrases as things that have been said in my household in the past before we started realizing that our child might have ADHD. It was validating to see that my decision to start removing some of these phrases from our daily vocabulary are in fact the proper way to handle it. I'm glad that I read the book simply for the validation it gave that my child with suspected ADHD probably does have ADHD. It confirmed my feelings. But I didn't get much practical advice from it on how to change anything. As it says, it gave some things to avoid doing but not so much anything to start doing.
