Williams keeps it real, providing authentic, down in the trenches, trial-by-fire advice from a momma who has lived it, figuring it out one day at a time. She steers you through methodically learning about your child's behaviors, strengths, and weaknesses, and how to use that knowledge to improve life for your child with ADHD and your entire family.ĭon't be fooled though - this is not your typical book on ADHD. In What to Expect When Parenting Children with ADHD, Williams offers a 9-step plan to tame (much of) the chaos and turn (most of) the struggles into triumphs. The contrast between expectations and genuine capability is stark but invisible with ADHD, creating challenges every moment in all aspects of life. There are guidebooks to set a parent's expectations for pregnancy and caring for a baby, but not one step-by-step guide for the challenge of raising a child with ADHD.

After the untimely death of his father, Leo begins to wear his father’s tacky porcupine necktie everywhere he goes. The film follows the basic outline of the novel, starting with Leo’s (Graham Verchere, “Fargo”) tragic backstory. Disney+ attempts to capture this heartwarming, inspiring tale in film form for its subscribers. Leo inevitably falls head over heels for the quirky girl.

Albert James Pickett’s History of Alabama, and Incidentally of Georgia and Mississippi, from the Earliest Period first appeared in Montgomery bookstores in September 1851. What’s the best path for reading your way through, you ask? It’s a simple question, but one bound to rile up Tolkien fans, who love and study the author’s works with serious devotion. But The Lord of the Rings is just the tip of the iceberg Tolkien’s Middle-earth legendarium encompasses thousands of years and dozens of other works, meaning that if you dive in, it may be quite a long time before you make it there and back again. You’ll always remember the first time you encountered these moving, masterfully imagined epics about the struggle between good and evil, the delicate balance of death and immortality, and the addictive danger of power. If you haven’t read the series, how I envy you! Newcomers are in for an unforgettable reading experience. Now, with Amazon's Rings of Power closing the curtain on a successful Season One, a whole new generation of fans have discovered Middle-earth.

Which is to say, it begins in the forests of ancient Bohemia and doesn't conclude until nine o'clock tonight (Paris time).

That initial question, posed by Biss’s husband as the pair return home from a disappointing trip to a furniture shop, neatly introduces her concerns.

I wasn’t surprised that I flew through the book, but I was a bit sad when it was over, I must admit.

Although a layered narrative, in true Patchett style, the story thread around following passion versus career resonated with me the most. The Dutch Housewas another book that I couldn’t put down. That’s no surprise, as Commonwealth, the first Ann Patchett novel that I read, was absolutely incredible. This book kept popping up on my Goodreads feed, and had incredible reviews underneath it. |
