Description

Boredom and boredom avoidance drive the behaviours of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity – the diagnostic criteria of ADHD. This is the first ADHD resource to thoroughly explore the connection between the two.

Full of innovative approaches, the book introduces a wide range of strategies for professionals working in clinical, educational and therapeutic settings to help those with ADHD beat boredom and engage with tasks and goals they want or need to achieve. Approaches specifically designed for toddlers, children, teenagers and adults are included that can then be incorporated into schoolwork, jobs, relationships and everyday life.

This practical resource will provide professionals who diagnose, treat, coach, and teach those with ADHD or those who suffer from frequent or pervasive boredom, with the tools to alleviate boredom in order to improve both concentration and mood.

Wow! The author presents a novel perspective of how boredom can defeat people who struggle with ADHD, and discusses, in-depth, various ways to channel their curiosity in ways that take advantage of the person's talents and interests. I particularly like the way the author treats people who have ADHD as valuable, whole, competent people who may just need to figure out how to best utilize their talents. Well done!
