I recently finished a book, 12 principles of raising a child with ADHD. In general I don’t like this science-based self-help genre but I am entering a phase where I am truly out of my depth. My son is moving into middle school, I’ve got a newborn on the way, and I cannot drop the ball on supporting my son or myself during this time. It’s more important for me to model good coping skills than it is for me to do anything else.

This book was kind of a wash for me. Living with pretty severe adhd as an adult has made it so my coping skills are not terrible. It did put into words the experience of a child who does not understand what is occurring inside their head though, which I appreciate.
