As a follow up to my series on ADHD Awareness, I’m adding  one more article — Top 10 Resources for ADHD Support.

 

 

 

 

I wanted to share some websites and books that have been helpful to us. Some of these are great parenting or homeschooling resources in general, and some are more specific to kids with ADHD. I am grateful for them all and have found them all useful at different parts of our journey. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

National Center for Biblical Parenting — NCBP is filled with amazing parenting resources — books, video classes, and much more. They also have a great email newsletter with great tips for biblical parenting. Their book, The Christian Parenting Handbook, has had more effect on my parenting that anything else.  Check to see if Dr. Scott Turansky and his ministry partner, Joanne Miller, RN will be holding a seminar in your area –then go! We did last month and were very blessed by it.

 

Raising Godly Children — This is one of my favorite blogs ever. It is filled with wisdom for biblical parenting. Another one I am sure to subscribe to.

Educating the Wholehearted Child — My very favorite homeschool book ever (whether you are homeschooling a child with ADHD or not), this book provides a solid biblical foundation for educating and nurturing your children’s hearts, minds, and souls.

 

Superparenting for ADD — This was the first book I ever read on ADHD, when I suspected that was what was going on with Ben. It describes the ADHD child as having a race car brain with bicycle brakes — the perfect analogy. It remains my favorite book for understanding what ADHD is all about.

How to Get Your Child Off the Refrigerator and Onto Learning — Carol Barnier knew that her son — more likely to be sitting on the table (or the refrigerator) than in his chair — was worthy of high expectations. She also knew that he could easily miss achieving them if she didn’t find the right key to unlock his capacity to learn. Carol found volumes of information on how to recognize the challenges in ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) children, how to manage them, how to discipline them, and how to accept them. But no one told her how to teach her son math tomorrow. In her search for solutions, she developed techniques that are not only fun for all children, but highly successful with any child who struggles with focus.

 

Homeschooling the Challenging Child — Often, families will choose homeschooling because they have children who cannot cope or thrive within traditional educational environments due to special physical or emotional needs. Homeschooling the Challenging Child addresses these special education issues, offering potential and current homeschooling families qualified and expert advice.

 

The Christian Parenting Handbook — You can read my review of this wonderful resource. It is one of those books that has a permanent place next to my spot on the sofa. I refer to it almost daily. I love it so much that I will be writing a 10-day series here on the blog in September based on things I’ve learned from it. I also really like the book, Motivate Your Child, by the same authors. 

  

Lead Your Family Like Jesus — Another book I had the honor of reviewing. It sits on the table next to The Christian Parenting Handbook. So many truths here about discipling your kids.
