Id like to thank all the same folks and mentors I acknowledged in the first book with New Harbinger Publications, The Gift of ADHD, especially Tesilya Hanauer, Melissa Kirk, Heather Mitchener, Lorna Garano, Troy DuFrene, and Earlita Chenault, who I appreciate more and more with each book. Im grateful to Carole Honeychurch for her masterful edits and making me look good.
Thanks to my mom-buddies and their husbands and children for nourishing my family and soul. I cant express in words my admiration for how hard you work for so little recognition, and my devotion to you for the much-needed and never-frequent-enough moms nights out.

To the most important people in the world: Molly McCann and Nino Kakulia for their loving care of Kenny and Audrey.
The 101 activities presented in this book are based on the change in worldview I put forth in my first book, The Gift of ADHD: How to Transform Your Childs Problems into Strengths (2005). That change in worldview can simply be described as focusing on the gifts and strengths that children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have in abundance. The shift is much more radical than simply finding strengths because its about actually seeing ADHD as a gift. The very same behaviors, traits, and expressions that get labeled as symptoms can, through a different lens, be seen as strengths that have an important contribution to make to our communities and culture.
Even if you find yourself doubtful about the premise that ADHD can be seen as a gift, there is little doubt that adopting such a belief would help transform your childs problems into strengths. Any serious student of human behavior will agree that whatever you focus on in your life, you will get more of. Research on optimistic explanatory stylestaking credit for good behavior and outcomes while looking for environmental causes of bad behavior and outcomeshas shown that finding benefits and focusing on them will increase mental and physical health and can even increase the length of life (Giltay et al. 2006). So this is no Pollyanna fancy; rather, it is serious science affecting life and health.
With this simple principle in mindin life, you get more of what you focus onyou can make dramatic changes in the life of your ADHD child with some simple activities that apply this principle. It breaks my heart to think of what can happen to a child when you focus primarily on perceived deficits and disorders. Imagine the dramatic transformations you could see when you withdraw your focus on these weaknesses. Now think of how this change will accelerate when you intensify your awareness and attention on the strengths of your child. We will examine this dynamic more closely and learn skills to bring it to the fore later in the book.
