“Mindfulness for Teens with ADHD nails it! Any teen—indeed, any person—who has ADHD can gain enormously by using this practical, reader-friendly, immensely valuable workbook. The author knows her stuff, having worked in the real world of teens and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) for years. I give this book the highest recommendation. It will reduce stress, build skills, and dramatically improve the life of every person who uses it.”
—Edward Hallowell, MD, coauthor of Driven to Distraction
“Mindfulness at its core is about building attention, increasing self-awareness, and creating new choices in responding. This makes a mindfulness-based approach a perfect fit for those who have unique brain functioning and learning styles such as in ADHD. Debra Burdick’s invaluable book provides teens, and those that work with them, with an excellent blueprint for applying curiosity and kindness to one’s ADHD characteristics, weaknesses, and strengths. The book goes to the heart of typical teen struggles such as schoolwork or making friends, and through structured questions and practices guides the teen reader to simultaneously become more self-accepting and more resourceful in dealing with daily challenges.”
—Lidia Zylowska, MD, associate professor in the department of psychiatry at University of Minnesota, founding member at UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center, and author of The Mindfulness Prescription for Adult ADHD
“Debra Burdick has done it again! Another step-by-step, easy-to-follow book—and this time, for teens with ADHD. Burdick takes us from home and school all the way to employment and long-term success with her mindfulness activities. This book is a must for all those working with teens, and also for all teens, whether they have ADHD or not.”
