I'm Going to See My Counselor Today...Yay! Tommy and ADHD, A Superhero of Kid's Counseling

A parent would reach for this book when their child is expressing anxiety, shame, or resistance toward attending therapy or receiving an ADHD diagnosis. It is specifically designed to demystify the counseling process and reframe 'brain differences' as unique strengths rather than deficits. The story follows Tommy, a young boy with ADHD who discovers that his counselor is like a superhero coach who helps him master his 'superpower' brain. This book is most appropriate for children aged 4 to 9 who may feel 'different' or frustrated by their impulsivity or focus challenges. By shifting the narrative from 'what is wrong' to 'how can I be my best self,' the author provides a hopeful, empowering framework. Parents will appreciate how it normalizes the clinical setting and provides a positive vocabulary for discussing mental health support within the family.
