Our goal in writing this parenting guide is to provide solutions for mothers with ADD who often feel overwhelmed by the challenging job of raising kids with ADD. The advice founf here takes into account that moms with ADD need support, too. Moms need to learn to manage their own ADD before they can be successful in helping their child meet the challenges of ADD. Instead of placing the primary parenting burden on the mother, our guidelines suggest ways to create an ADD-friendly family environment ? an environment that minimizes the negative impact of ADD and nurtures the gifts and talents of each family member.
