ADHD Parenting: From Meltdowns to Momentum: Love-And-Limits Discipline, Executive Function Supports, and Sensory-Smart Routines (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781684819096)

Bold, practical, and compassionate, ADHD Parenting: From Meltdowns to Momentum gives overwhelmed parents a clear, evidence-based path to calmer days, stronger relationships, and real progress at home and school. Blending clinical expertise with lived experience, therapist Joshua Terhune reframes "difficult" behaviors as signals--and shows how to meet an ADHD child with connection, not control.

A calm home starts with feeling understood. Drawing on years of ADHD-focused counseling and his nationally-followed parenting classes, Terhune teaches parents how the ADHD brain actually works--executive function, sensory processing, and emotional regulation--so meltdowns, impulsivity, and "inconsistency" finally make sense. When you understand the "why," you can change the "what."

Authority with heart, science you can use. Terhune's connection-first approach translates research into step-by-step tools: love-and-limits discipline that protects self-esteem, routines that work with an ADHD brain, and advocacy strategies for IEP/504 plans that build partnership with teachers. Real family stories remind readers they're not alone, and that success is measured in progress, not perfection.

Inside, you'll find:

• Behavior tools that work with the ADHD brain--connection-before-correction scripts, playful coaching, and executive function supports that reduce power struggles


• Home systems that create calm--sensory-informed routines, transition plans, and environment "hacks" that cut chaos and boost follow-through


• School and life scaffolds--IEP/504 essentials, strength-based motivation, and small-win ladders that grow independence and confidence
