Allison Tyler's Thriving with ADHD Workbook for Teens offers a great resource for teens learning to navigate life and turn ADHD into an advantage instead of a disadvantage.
Tyler first helps teens understand more about ADHD and what it is, then she covers three areas--ADHD in School, ADHD in the World, and ADHD in Real Life (a Q&A section). She gently guides readers through a series of activities to help them build on their strengths and understand their weaknesses--to specifically help them understand executive functioning skills and how to develop them.
Readers will find activities for finding their study style, what works for them in their workspace, how to harness their hyperfoucs, and how to organize materials. And those are just a few. This highly practical workbook gets teens thinking about what works for them and their unique learning styles and how to make ADHD an asset instead of a liability.
As a mom of an ADHD student, I found this workbook highly practical and plan to buy a copy of it for my teen to work through as she completes her junior year of high school and begins to plan for university. I think this will really encourage her and help her to develop her strengths and find ways to harness her weaknesses for the better. While the Kindle version is always convenient, I think students mighit benefit most from a hard copy where they can make notes as they work through each activity and then refer back to them over and over again.
Note: I received a copy of the book from the publisher in exchange for this honest review. The opinions expressed are my own.
In full disclosure, I'm 50 and newly diagnosed with ADHD, definitely not a teen. While outside the demographic, I found this workbook had a lot of helpful tips broken down into easy to digest chunks so it was still valuable. I will be examining some of the ideas further as they are not very in depth, some I was already doing because I've discovered them myself over the years, but I wish I had known when I was a teen. The end section is Q&A geared toward teens based on likely real life events, this wasn't quite as useful to me as I'm past that, but they were things I recognized from my past and would have been useful.
I think this would also help teens and parents have conversations with each other.
I don’t write reviews often. I’ve been using this workbook when I do check ins with students on my caseload (special ed. teacher). It’s been a great bite-sized way to coach my high school students in ways that prompt self awareness and advocacy. Awesome resource. It also helps me as recently diagnosed adult at 40 to explain how the tools transfer to adulthood.
