He's Not Naughty: Raising My Son with ADHD

Is this just how little boys are, or is it something more?

Ihsana Mohamed was a first-time mother in a busy family home, and a teacher who watched children for a living. She saw things in her own son long before anyone named them. This book follows fourteen years of their life together, from the newborn who would not sleep to the boy who now stands in goal for his football academy and reads the Qur'an in his own voice.

It is a memoir and a handbook in one. Each story chapter has seven parts: what happened; what she understands now; what research and specialists say; questions to reflect on; practical strategies; a parent action checklist; and a word of encouragement.

Inside you'll find:

• Part One, Noticing: the early years and the signs a mother sees first
• Part Two, Understanding: the diagnosis, the medication decision, exams, and the slow climb to Student Leader
• Part Three, Going Deeper: ADHD explained in plain words, honest answers to the big questions, faith and patience, and the road ahead
• A glossary, answers to the questions parents ask most, and trusted resources

It is written for parents who sense something is different, families who have just heard the word ADHD, relatives who share the raising of a child, and teachers who want to see the home side.

This book shares one family's experience alongside general information about ADHD. It is not medical advice. Decisions about assessment, treatment or medication belong with professionals who know your child.
