Lara Honos-Webb – författare

ADHD/ADD som vuxen visar på ett respektfullt sätt hur man kan förvandla symptomen till styrkor. Detta kan leda till stora och livsavgörande framsteg när det gäller relationer, jobbprestationer och livskvaliteten i stort. Boken riktar sig i första hand till dem som har fått en diagnos eller de som misstänker att diagnosen ADHD/ADD nog skulle kunna passa in på dem. Men boken kan även läsas av familjemedlemmar, pedagoger och personer i vänskapskretsen.

Den här handboken visar hur man som förälder kan tänka på ett nytt sätt kring sitt barn med ADHD.

Det handlar om att byta perspektiv – att inte längre fokusera på det som är förknippat med problem och svårigheter kring barnet, utan på barnets ovanliga styrkor och förmågor. Med hjälp av råd från psykologen och författaren Lara Honos- Webb kan dessa barn stärka sin självkänsla och förändra sitt fortsatta liv.
