Synopsis

A book for anybody who has, or works with, children (of any age) with 'out of control' behaviour, including parents, teachers and healthcare professionals. Raising Attention busts commonly believed myths surrounding ADHD and 'naughty' children, discusses up to date neuroscience and genetics research in an accessible way and provides practical tips that really make a difference to both children and the adults who care for them.

Written by bestselling childcare expert Sarah Ockwell-Smith, herself a mother of a young adult with ADHD, there are plenty of heartwarming and heartbreaking personal stories included to bring the book to life.

If you've ever felt exhausted, helpless, guilty, embarrassed or shamed for your child's behaviour, this supportive and non-judgemental book is for you.

Once again Sarah has done an amazing job of providing the supportive voice every parent needs. This book is exactly what I needed as a ND parent with a suspected ND, definitely explosive, child.
