There are guidebooks to set expectations for pregnancy and caring for baby, but not one step-by-step guide for the challenge of learning to raise a child with ADHD...
until now.
What to Expect When You're Not Expecting ADHD offers a 9-step plan to tame the chaos and turn the struggles into triumphs. Use this guide and the 25+ worksheets included to learn about your child's behaviors, triggers, strengths, and weaknesses, to improve life for your child with ADHD, and your entire family.
Don't be fooled though -- this is not your typical book on ADHD. Williams keeps it real, providing authentic, down in the trenches, trial-by-fire advice from a momma who has lived it. Whether your child's diagnosis is new or you've been struggling for years, What to Expect is your instruction manual for effectively parenting your child with ADHD.

Follow Penny at PennyWilliamsAuthor.com."I endured a long learning curve when my son was diagnosed with ADHD," says Williams. "I share my experiences parenting my son, Ricochet, in the hopes of shortening that painful time of trial by fire for others." Williams says she gains strength in parenting Ricochet through a quote from Albert Einstein, "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
