Parenting expert and highly regarded popular childcare author Sarah Ockwell-Smith has featured in a Bookseller press release promoting her new book, Raising Attention!

Raising Attention will be Ockwell-Smith’s 15th book for Piatkus and will be a boon to parents struggling to navigate the condition.

In the article, Ockwell-Smith said:

‘Raising Attention is the most personal book I’ve ever written. I share the struggles of my own family, raising a neurodivergent child in a society that still thinks ADHD is “just bad parenting”. I know how it feels to hit rock bottom and I want to share with other parents the support that I so desperately needed myself. There is hope and there is joy. It’s time to change the ADHD narrative.’

Her publisher, Zoe Bohm, who echoed her sentiments on the importance of the book, said:

‘In the context of so many conversations around ADHD, it’s difficult to believe that there is such a huge gap in the market for an authoritative and reassuring guide for parents of children with ADHD and explosive behaviour. Drawing on her personal and professional experience, Sarah is absolutely the perfect author to write this book and we are very proud to be publishing it on the Piatkus list.’

Raising Attention: A Supportive Guide for Parents and Carers of Children with ADHD and Explosive Behaviour is out this summer. Pre-order your copy here, or, better, via your local bookstore and Bookshop,org.
