Understanding My Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Understanding my ADHD, is written as an introduction for children who are being evaluated for ADHD or who have recently been diagnosed with ADHD. The book is a story about a child named Tommy, who is struggling in school and who always seems to be in trouble. The author's story explains the symptoms of ADHD in kid-friendly language and offers hope and encouragement to a child that with work things can get better.

"Young children always have questions, but those questions may not always be easy to answer. In her new kid-friendly book, Understanding My Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Kara Tamanini has made that process much simpler. In this sensitive book, easily understood by even preschoolers, Mr. Timmons, a kindly shop owner, shares his childhood experiences with Tommy, a boy coming to grips with his own ADHD behaviors. Wonderful on its own, this first book in Ms. Tamanini's Kids Awareness Series leaves me wanting more." Patricia O. Quinn MD, Developmental Pediatrician Director of the Center for Girls and Women with ADHD
