Advance praise for Raising Your ADHD Child
"Dr. Ellis provides practical strategies to help families who are raising a child(ren) with ADHD. She even adds suggested scripts to help parents know what to say as well as the tone in which to speak to their child to have a greater likelihood of getting the desired result. She educates parents and families about ADHD and helps remove the shame "so that problem-solving can occur instead of continued paralysis, avoidance, or the use of ineffective methods that just frustrate parents and children."

“Elizabeth M. Ellis has done for the field of divorce and children what William Hodges did a decade ago with his volume Interventions for Children of Divorce. Dr. Ellis has taken us through the research findings of the 1990s and into the 21st century by documenting what has been learned in the past ten years.
In this volume, Dr. Ellis has compiled research techniques and approaches in some of the critical decision-making areas that comprise high-conflict divorce. Importantly, she also discusses some of the remediation programs, such as parent coordination, special mastering, and other interventions, that address the much-needed corrective process of protecting children from what we now know are the harmful effects of high-conflict divorce.”
