ADHD doesn't just affect individuals. It affects entire families.

• identify ADHD traits and their impact on relationships
• manage overwhelming emotions effectively

"Dr. Rosier gets it. She knows the dance and the drama of ADHD, having lived it herself since she was a little girl. Of the many excellencies I could single out, including the clear and pungent prose, I am most moved by the heart that infuses this memorable book of pithy and hard-earned advice. I will never forget the image of little Tamara sitting alone in the back seat of the family car after a set-to with her frazzled mom and whispering to herself the simple wish, 'I want a happy family.' Now grown up, Dr. Tamara Rosier proceeds to write a beautiful manual on how to make that wish come true." Edward Hallowell, MD, author of Driven to Distraction and ADHD 2.0
A happy family life takes work, but it's work that yields life-changing rewards. You, Me, and Our ADHD Family makes that work easier.
