Motherhood is full of little highs: the smell of a newborn baby's head, the feeling of a small hand holding yours, the infectious sound of laughter, first words, first steps, the first day at school, endless tiny but significant hints of the person your child is to become.

A summer with no scheduled activities at all. The thought was tempting, but was it possible? It would be like something out of the 1950s.

As a parent, you want the best for your child, and one of your greatest hopes is that your child will grow up to be a good person. So, what makes a good person?

However, it seems that, in our fast-paced, individual-driven society, kindness is fading and the pressure on parents to raise socially conscious, empathetic, and caring children can seem overwhelming at times.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent condition affecting millions of children globally. Boys are more prone to this condition than girls, so this workbook’s tone is mostly masculine. Children with ADHD are hyperactive and often show impulsive behavior.
