Attention Girls! provides information to help your daughter understand about her own ADHD. She may identify more with “Forgetful Frannie” or “Chatty Caroline” or “Shy Samantha” or “Fidgety Fiona” or “Disorganized Dora” or any of the other many girls described in the book. It may also be that your daughter identifies with several of the girls. By reading about each, your daughter will gain insight into how her own ADHD affects her daily life. She will also begin to understand that she is not alone in her feelings and that there are many things she can do to take control over her life and overcome the challenges that ADHD brings.
The book is beautifully illustrated and easy to read with practical tips for everything from getting organized to setting up schedules to homework strategies to deciding who to tell about the ADHD to boosting self-esteem to managing difficult feelings to making friends.
Attention Girls! is geared towards girls age 8 to 13, but is a great resource for those older, as well. There is such a lack of information available to girls with ADHD. Here’s hoping this book starts a trend of everyone becoming more aware and educated about ADHD in girls and for those girls with ADHD to feel more empowered and positive about themselves and their lives.
