 | Voices from Fatherhood by Patrick Kilcarr
At a recent international CHADD conference, 67 of parents polled said that mothers alone get their children up and ready for school. So it appears that mothers still do most child care -- but it is also true that fathers are becoming more and more involved. This is a book written especially for fathers who have sons with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and don't know how to interact with them. It is filled with quotes from fathers describing their observations about the impact of an ADHD son on their marriage, their families, and themselves, including: -- Reactions when their sons must take medication -- Coping strategies that have worked -- as well as those that have failed -- First-person experiences of young adults growing up with ADHD -- Special chapter by a grandfather, providing an intergenerational perspective Voices from Fatherhood is unique in focusing on fathers' concerns in parenting their ADHD sons. It offers fathers support and encouragement as well as specific management techniques. In summary, this is a book that everyone -- fathers, mothers, educators, and mental health professionals -- will find useful in helping to understand the dynamics of modern day father-son relationships.
