Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | For ages 12+. This guide explores the good stuff, not-so-good stuff, normal stuff, brain stuff, and truthfully, the stuff that isn't in any other book out there on AD/HD. Really! So what makes this book different? It is funny, honest, and written especially for girls, not for their parents. It presents all the must-know information about AD/HD in a style that girls in junior, middle, or high school will understand and want to read. An important first step is to get to know how AD/HD affects girls in particular. They might be some combination of dreamy, forgetful, emotional, messy, depressed, talkative, distractible, or fidgety. They might also have trouble starting and finishing homework and chores, falling asleep and getting up, or fitting in with peers. Recognising this mix of characteristics, the book presents information using three different girl characters - Maddy, Helen, and Bo - each with a unique personality and combination of AD/HD traits. Maddy, Helen, and Bo cover all there is to know, including: What AD/HD is like for girls; How the AD/HD brain works; How puberty compounds problems with AD/HD; How counselling, coaching, and medications help; How to deal with emotions from anger to anxiety to depression; What advantages there are to having AD/HD; How to cope with school and homework; How to get along with family and friends. Armed with this knowledge about AD/HD and the unbeatable advice found in this book, girls will be ready to accept the impact of AD/HD and decide how they are going to deal with it. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it! This guide should be essential reading for girls, but also for parents, counsellors, teachers, psychologists, and anyone who knows a girl with AD/HD and wants to understand her better. | | | |

 Every girl with ADD should have a copy of this book! Dec 30, 2004
By Tara McGillicuddy
As a woman with ADD myself I know first hand about the struggles girls with ADD face. I wish I had a book like this when I was growing up. While there are some great books already for women with ADD and ones that help adults understand girls with ADD, this book is unique. It's specicially written for girls with ADD not adults.
The format of the book is very "ADD Friendly". The fonts used in the book are fun and inviting to girls with ADD. The illustrations are also very helpful at grabbing the reader's attention and keeping the readers attention.
The content on this book is specificly written for girls with ADD. It covers specific issues which pertain to being a girl with ADD and how to overcome many of these issues. The balance of information and humor makes this book appropriate for young female readers.

For Teens Aug 23, 2007
By R. Blake
I bought this for my newly-diagnosed 9-year-old and have decided to keep it until she is a little older. Looks well written and presented in an interesting format. But it addresses issues that a little bit older girl needs to read about, not a 9-year-old.

Written with humor and encouragement Jan 03, 2005
By Midwest Book Review
Written with humor and encouragement, The Girls' Guide To AD/HD is a compendium of explanatory facts and practical advice on how to life a full and successful life while dealing with peers, teachers, friends and family despite AD/HD. Three girls (Maddy, Helen, and Bo) each have unique personalities and combinations of AD/HD traits enabling the reader to learn all about what AD/HD is like for girls; how the AD/HD brain functions; how adolescence impacts AD/HD symptoms; how counseling, coaching, and medications can help; how to deal with emotions that range from anxiety and anger, to forgetfulness and depression; the advantages that having AD/HD can have; how to cope with school and homework; and how to get along with others. To put it simply, The Girls' Guide To AD/HD is "must" reading for girls having to cope with this increasingly widespread condition and should be available in every school and community library.

The Girl's Guide to AD/HD: Don't Lose This Book Mar 21, 2006
By Lady Dragon
This book was an immediate hit with our girls. It helped them understand the nature of AD/HD without making it sound like it was a dreaded disease to have.

Fun book for girls with ADHD May 08, 2009
By Teo
This book was fun and easy to read. It had a lot of hard science written in a way that grabs your attention and is simple to understand. It offered good tips for dealing with a variety of situations which can be challenging to girls with ADHD. I think it would be appropriate for both tweens and teens. It is geared more toward the inattentive girl rather than the hyperactive/impulsive girl. I think it will also appeal more to traditional girls than to "tomboys".
