ADHD Workbook

A brain-based guide to understanding, supporting, and nurturing children with ADHD

The From the Start ADHD Workbook is a practical, compassionate resource designed to help parents and carers understand ADHD from the inside out.

Rather than focusing on behaviour management alone, this workbook explains what is happening in a child’s brain and nervous system and why ADHD can affect emotions, attention, regulation, impulsivity, routines, and confidence. It offers a calm, shame-free approach that supports both the child and the adults caring for them.

This workbook guides families through understanding ADHD, supporting thoughts and feelings, building executive functioning skills, reducing overwhelm, and creating predictable structures that help children feel safe and capable. Each section includes clear parent education, child-friendly explanations, and simple worksheets that can be used at your own pace and adapted to your child’s unique needs.

The From the Start ADHD Workbook is not about fixing children or pushing them to behave better. It focuses on helping parents respond to behaviour with clarity, connection, and confidence, while supporting children to build regulation, resilience, and self-understanding over time.

Suitable for parents and carers of children from early childhood through to adolescence, this workbook is especially supportive for families navigating emotional intensity, sensory sensitivities, impulsivity, and executive functioning challenges.

Inside the workbook you will find:
Understanding ADHD and the developing brain
How the nervous system shapes behaviour
