by Riley Ellis

FBT review:

Parenting a girl with ADHD can feel isolating—especially when all the books and blogs seem to focus on boys. *Better Parenting for Girls with ADHD* by Riley Ellis flips the script with raw honesty, dark humor, and practical advice tailored specifically to girls.

Blending lived experience with research, this indie non-fiction gem explores why girls are so often missed, mislabeled, or diagnosed late—and what you can do about it now. From emotional storms and daydreaming to depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and more, you’ll find validation, tools, and hope on every page.

If you devour honest, voice-driven indie titles and are searching for your next meaningful read, this eBook deserves a top spot on your TBR list.

Publisher Description:

Unlike your redneck uncle, ADHD does not discriminate. It only appears that it does because the boys are the ones getting handed out diagnoses like funnel cakes at the county fair.
Why is that?
Because the boys (and a few girls) are rowdy and loud and constantly on the move. By age seven, their parents and teachers alike are questioning the life choices that led them to believe they might be a positive influence in the lives of growing minds.

Meanwhile, girls with ADHD are daydreaming out the window, their attention caught by a passing butterfly. Their brand of ADHD is creating turtle ballets while a teacher drones on about the rules of subtraction. These girls are armchair diagnosed as "lazy, slow, odd, daydreamer, anxiety riddled, etc." They are struggling with their own unique brand of ADHD, and the signs are overlooked until these girls turn up suicidal, and possibly not even then. Once called ADD, we now know that the hyperactivity is happening in their heads, not their bodies.

You are only steps away from becoming a better parent and helping your daughter become the successful, brilliant, best version of herself. Whether your daughter has been diagnosed or is only showing signs that leave you wondering what the heck is up with her, BETTER PARENTING FOR GIRLS WITH ADHD will help both of you meet the challenges to come.

Early interventions in the lives of children with ADHD sets them up for success and makes everyone's lives easier, but even if you are coming to this party later in life, this book is still for you - because you probably arrived with things like depression, suicidal thoughts (or actions), bipolar disorder, eating disorders, addictions, and an entire host of other mental disorders in your party bag.

Between Poppy's antics and Riley's shame, you'll leave these pages laughing and hopeful. It's time to let someone else have a turn at the walking disaster gig; you're over it.
