Ever wondered what truly lies behind your child’s restless eyes? What if their boundless energy isn’t a challenge to be tamed, but a unique rhythm waiting to be understood and channelled?

Dive into ‘Behind the Restless Eyes: A Deep Dive into the Emotional World of Children with ADHD’ by the insightful Dr. Hassan Farhangi. This groundbreaking book challenges conventional wisdom, inviting you to see the world not just through your child’s eyes, but from within their unique and beautiful mind.

Dr. Farhangi illuminates how children with ADHD perceive and interpret the world differently due to the unique structure of their brains and dopamine deficiency. This difference in interpretation often leads to anxiety, stress, guilt, confusion, anger, and shame for children, and exhaustion and frustration for parents. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

At its heart, this book introduces the transformative Word Therapy Approach. This scientific framework helps parents and educators visualise the meaning of keywords in their children’s minds, showing how our interpretation of words shapes expectations and, in turn, influences behaviour. By understanding how words like “play,” “punishment,” and “focus” are uniquely interpreted by an ADHD child, parents can significantly improve their child’s emotional state and behavioural performance.

Discover Profound Insights into Your Child’s World:

• The Power of Dopamine: Learn about the fascinating role of dopamine in the ADHD brain – not as a flaw, but as a dynamic engine that, when properly channelled, can lead to thrilling adventures and never-ending discoveries. The book explains how intense and varied stimuli, like digital games, can trigger unpredictable dopamine spikes, influencing behaviour and concentration.
• Reimagining “Play”: For a child with ADHD, play is far more than mere entertainment; it’s a space of liberation, emotional release, and regaining control. It’s “mental breathing” that reduces psychological pressure, releases pent-up emotions, acts as a mental reset, and enhances creativity. You’ll learn why attempts to impose rigid rules or expectations can lead to frustration and a sense of rejection.
• Understanding “Punishment”: Explore how punishment, often well-intentioned by adults, is deeply felt by the ADHD child as rejection, worthlessness, and helplessness. The book provides alternative solutions that strengthen communication and understanding instead of perpetuating a cycle of blame and guilt.
• Redefining “Focus”: Move beyond the traditional image of static concentration. Learn that for an ADHD child, focus is kinetic, rhythmic, and deeply responsive to inner curiosity and outer stimulation. Discover practical strategies to create an environment that matches their mental needs, celebrating their unique “hyperfocus” as a powerful strength.
• Navigating Guilt, Hypersensitivity, and Repetitive Behaviours: Dr. Farhangi provides empathetic insights into why children with ADHD may feel more guilt, experience extreme hypersensitivity and irritability due to an overactive nervous system, and display repetitive behaviours often mistaken for OCD. Word Therapy offers steps to affirm anxiety, redefine behaviour, and create healthy paths for compensation and self-regulation.
• Healing Parental Traps: Crucially, the book addresses the “Psychological Traps of Parents,” revealing how unresolved childhood wounds can “poison conscious education”. It emphasises that genuine transformation begins with parental inner healing, recognising that your child’s development depends deeply on your own psychological well-being.

This book is your invitation to foster a relationship built on understanding, empathy, and joy. It offers practical, experience-based solutions to transform perceived challenges into unique strengths, allowing your child to thrive and find true happiness, security, and self-acceptance.

Unlock the mysteries of your child’s mind and rediscover the boundless joy and vitality they bring to your home. ‘Behind the Restless Eyes’ is more than a book; it’s a journey to deeper connection and profound self-awareness, for both you and your child
