What inspired you to write the book? A particular person? An event?
Both of my parents have ADHD and growing up in a home surrounded by loved ones with it inspired an early desire to learn more about this and how to help those impacted with it best. Later on our two daughters also were diagnosed with this and other challenges, and I wanted to help other parents who didn’t have the exposure and training to remove barriers to a less stressful and more enjoyable parenting experience.
What’s the most distinctive thing about the main character? Who-real or fictional-would you say the character reminds you of?
As a non-fiction parenting book, I see a lot of the information that has been provided and I am reminded of the individual lessons and experiences that brought about the unearthing of that nugget of information in our home.
What’s the main reason someone should really read this book?
With the dramatic increase of the number of children diagnosed with ADHD in America each week, it is imperative that parents have this book in their toolkit to help them be prepared to help the children in their life who may be already diagnosed with or about to be diagnosed with ADHD. There are things that parents can do to make raising their children less stressful and this book will help that become a reality.
If they made your book into a movie, who would you like to see play the main character(s)?
Keanu Reaves.
Is there something in particular that motivates you (fame? fortune?)
Knowing that the lives of other parents are being helped motivates me.
Which book do you wish you could have written?
I wish I could have written the book “Rich Dad Poor Dad”.
