Francis, an informa company.
Children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder create unique challenges within the family setting. While mothers are still the primary caregivers, the father-son relationship is a special one. As fathers contribute more as caregivers, as well as role models and mentors, they need to understand what their sons are going through as they cope with ADHD, and they most bond with their sons in channelling their often unfocused energy in productive and fulfilling ways. This is the first book written specifically to help fathers navigate the complex world of ADHD. It encourages personal growth while providing fathers with strategies for guiding their sons. Building on first person accounts, this book strikes the unique balance of offering factual information about ADHD and at the same time focusing on the personal impact on the father-son relationship. An essential guidebook, Voices from Fatherhood helps fathers enhance and broaden their relationships with their sons and their entire family. Because it is highly supportive, factual, and practical, mothers will find it useful for understanding the complexities of the father-son relationship. Educators and mental health professionals will find it indispensable in helping families cope with the various aspects of ADHD.

Expand your EI to make courageous decisions and transform your life
based on Patrick Kilcarr's EQ-I 2.0 tool and his 'Master Trainer'
status. Our emotional intelligence (EI) is an intensely personal
inner landscape. It is an intricate interplay of self-regard,
empathy, resilience, and other key competencies essential to
leading a fulfilled and balanced personal and professional life.
While it is unique for each one of us, taking into account our
formative experience growing up and the myriad of others
experiences we encountered up to this moment in time, there are
specific emotions and behaviors that suggest we either are, or are
not, socially and emotionally balanced. Our personal history is
inescapable; what is not is our ability to direct the life we want
from this point forward. Yet the measure of emotional intelligence
largely has been the province of educators, CEOs, entrepreneurs,
and human resources professionals. They are keenly interested in
how the concept plays out in educational and professional settings,
and their assessments aim at maximizing organization integration
and performance. The problem is clear. If emotional intelligence is
rooted in the individual, how can we use its assessment as a map
for self-understanding and as leverage to immediate and future
growth? A strong hunger exists among ordinary people to harness the
extraordinary power of emotional intelligence as a pathway to
personal transformation. Guides to accomplish this vital task in
personal growth are few. While there is a great deal written
"about" emotional intelligence, a gap exists demonstrating what it
looks and feels like to achieve and maintain emotional
intelligence, especially if our formative years were paved with
drama, trauma and disappointment. This book brings to the reader
how an emotionally intelligent life can be achieved if there is a
desire for it.
