Being a teen with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) doesnt stop you from wanting what almost every other teen wants: independence, good grades, and a healthy social life.

This book can help. This unique guide will help you develop the skills you need to strengthen your executive functioning, foster the self-compassion essential to overcoming self-criticism often caused by ADHD, and gain the confidence and resilience necessary to take control of your ADHD-and your life. Youll also learn how to manage your emotions, focus, practice flexible problem solving, change habits, and improve communication skills. Finally, youll learn how these skills can improve your relationships with friends and family, and help you succeed in school-and life! Your ADHD doesnt have to define you, and it certainly doesnt have to determine your life. This book will allow you to step off the path of self-criticism, and guide you on the path toward self-compassion, self-confidence, and success.

Review "This selection from the Instant Help Solutions series addresses teens struggling with symptoms of ADHD. The table of contents lists 10 chapters, from "What is ADHD Anyway?" to "Steering Yourself to the Future You Choose." The text is frank and supportive: Besides discussions of symptoms, strategies, and specific mindfulness and self-compassion exercises, each chapter includes quotations from young people ages 12 to 20 (whose names indicate some ethnic diversity) who briefly share their trials, triumphs, and insights. The book mentions that although the condition is permanent, symptoms can effectively be reduced through mindfulness and self-compassion training plus other supports and medication, which it describes as the most highly effective treatment for some aspects of ADHD.... The exercises are terrific for all teens, whether they have ADHD or not, and are largely accessible without having to read the whole work. Downloadable audio assistance and worksheets are added bonuses.... Helpful strategies for tackling ADHD." --Kirkus Reviews-- "Kirkus Reviews""Bertin and Bluth make mindfulness accessible, interesting, and even fun in their book, Mindfulness and Self-Compassion for Teen ADHD.
