Great resource!

An invaluable resource for parents of children with ADHD! This book offers clear, actionable strategies grounded in research, while also showing deep empathy for the challenges families face. Practical advice on managing behavior, creating routines, and supporting emotional well-being makes it a must-read. A supportive guide that empowers parents to thrive alongside their child with ADHD.

Helpful!

This book was an easy listen and very helpful. I feel like it gave me practical advise on how to support and raise my child with ADHD. The book makes me feel not alone in understanding how hard it can be to raise a kid with ADHD. It had a good chapter on empathy and even a very helpful chapter on discipline and how to do it without breaking them down. I would recommend this book to any parent who has a child with ADHD.

A user friendly guide

This book is a breath of fresh air amid the often overwhelming and confusing genre of living with ADHD. The love and compassion of the author is clearly evident and it sounds more like a good friend talking to you than a clinical handbook. Don’t be fooled by the easy going nature though, this book is brimming with excellent ideas and setting a framework for genuine connection and understanding with your ADHD child. There are just so many real world examples that sound like right out of a regular household combined with practical solutions to everyday problems. I was particularly impressed by the fact there were often multiple examples of different ways to tackle the same problems. This is such valuable information since we all know that our kids (and us parents) respond differently depending on the situation and sense of urgency.

a refreshing perspective.

"The Empathy Framework Approach" by LJ Apple offers a refreshing perspective on ADHD, viewing it as a unique way of experiencing the world rather than a problem to solve. My nephew was diagnosed with ADHD and I have been educating myself on how to be with him in an encouraging way and this audiobook has given me much insight. Through its core themes of Understanding, Connection, Guidance, and Growth, the book provides practical strategies for supporting children with ADHD. The author's EMPATHY framework (Embracing, Mindset, Preparation, Advocacy, Togetherness, Harmony, Ying-Yang) effectively guides parents, family and caregivers through daily challenges. Using these approaches with my 12-year-old nephew has helped me to now appreciate his creativity and hyper-focus as strengths rather than limitations.

Great subject matter for now and future reference and support!

This book simplifies a complex subject, making it easy to understand and navigate. The thoughtful format is perfect for referencing and provides ongoing support, which is one of my favorite features.

Practical and Actionable Guide! Great Read!

"The Empathy Framework Approach to Parenting Your Child with ADHD" is a compassionate, practical guide for navigating the unique challenges of ADHD parenting. Each chapter—covering topics like Mindfulness, Advocacy, and Self-Care—offers science-backed insights and empathy-driven strategies tailored to your child’s needs.

What truly stood out was how the book addresses the often-overlooked overlap between ADHD and anxiety. It offers clear, actionable insights to help parents distinguish between the two and provides practical tools to support their child in navigating both challenges with confidence and care.

This book goes beyond being just a guide—it’s relatable, full of real-life examples, and packed with warmth and wisdom. A must-read for parents looking to build empathy, embrace their child’s unique world, and support them with a different perspective. Thank you LJ Apple for providing such a thoughtful and empowering resource.

Great for coaches

The Empathy Framework approach to parenting A child with ADHD is an educational tool for parents and teachers alike. Over the last 20 years, I coached wrestling children of all personality types and the ADHD phrase was ever present in the room. As a coach with no degree and simple life experiences, I did not have the tools to excel with the ADHD child, but often related with and appreciated their energy and focus for martial arts. LJ Apple did a thorough job explaining the many different types of ADHD, and getting across the gifts this way of thinking bestows. After this read, I now see ADHD in a new light, and I’m certain parents, teachers and coaches will find the empathy framework approach as an in depth guide to helping the ADHD child becoming exceptional individuals in life.

Education is power

For those who have struggled with hyperactivity disorder all of their lives, or now find themselves in the position of raising children with this disorder, the book is very informative and helps the reader to understand the complexities of day-to-day life with people that do suffer from the disorder. Great read, highly recommended!

The EMPATHY framework is a game changer

My son has ADHD and I often consume resources teaching me how to parent him with love, kindness, empathy, and evidence based tactics to help him thrive as well as advocate for him. Lynda Apple does a great job with her E. M. P. A. T. H. Y. framework of adding even more tools to my toolbelt. She addresses important aspects like self-care and creating a sensory- friendly home, as well as understanding your child’s strengths (I try to teach him that his challenges relating to ADHD are actually his superpowers). This is a great read!

Helpful parenting for anyone!

This book is a huge help for parents of children both with and without ADHD by using empathy to guide parenting. There’s so much helpful information about parenting in a compassionate, supportive and loving way that will build real connections with your children. The book is honest and accessible to anyone looking for guidance with a child with ADHD.
