Summary
Understanding Girls with ADHD does not shy away from key areas of controversy. How, for example, can a family know whether it's ADHD or another set of problems that's the primary issue? How does one deal with the potential use of medication, which is plagued by bad press and abundant myths but which can, as part of a multi-faceted treatment plan, provide great benefit if the right dose is found and if the doctor works with the family to monitor positive effects and side effects carefully? What about longterm risk for eating pathology, substance abuse, and other difficult areas of impairment of salience for girls? How can girls and their families break through the thicket of negative expectations and sometimes toxic family interactions to pave the way for a different set of outcomes?
Always sensitive, and without hesitation in providing an authoritative tone, this book will empower girls and their families in ways that are sorely needed. Its emphasis on gender-specific manifestations of ADHD and its inclusion of practical means of attacking the executive function deficits that plague girls and women with ADHD will ensure its continued status as core guidebook.

educational
As a father of an adhd daughter it was a great listen, well worth listening to , we are still waiting for an assessment on my daughter so this book helped me understand a little more about what's going on . it was teachers that brought it to my attention and then I realized why she was so like me and at 55yrs old I realized what was wrong with me .

Very Informative
This book has been great, I have been researching Adhd for the past 6mths after monitoring my 5yr old for the last 2-3yrs initially thinking she might have Asd, as she is getting older she is displaying more traits of Adhd. Understanding Girls with Adhd has taught me more about the condition than I have learnt over the last few mths. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who suspects their daughter or someone they know well has adhd and have a notepad & pen to hand as you will want to make notes & there are questions to answer yes or no to which I have found very helpful writing them down.

Time out!! I don't think so!!!
I will not use time out as a strategy to make my child to conform to positive behaviour it's cruel, when a child is at her most vulnerable you do not withdraw your attention, it's now that your guidance is most necessary to help her through the complexity of emotions and feelings. I have no faith in listening to the rest of this book if the author really thinks leaving a child in time out to think about what they have done! When psychologist all over the world can't agree what ADHD is, HOW is a child to analyse the WHOLE situation and why they are reacting, add in other challenges like hormones, illness, other people's intentions. Again, this book pins the blame on the child and perpetuates punishment to conform that she will not learn to understand herself or trust.
