For parents of a child with a disability, this is a memoir of overcoming criticism from friends, family, and therapists and learning to rely on one’s own instincts—and boundless love—to successfully raise a child with ADHD.
Thank you for always loving me, Aimee Kaufman’s daughter, Sam, wrote in a Mother’s Day card at twenty-two years old. Reading those words, Aimee knew she’d been right to follow her heart throughout her younger daughter’s tumultuous childhood.
Aimee spent many years doubting herself and fielding hurtful criticism about the way she was raising her daughter. But through it all, she consistently held to the belief that whatever tools and tricks she and Sam picked up from her own copious research and the experts she sought out to help her daughter, the true key to Sam’s happiness and success was unconditional love. In the end, the strong bond she cultivated with her daughter is what allowed them both to survive all the ups and downs—and, eventually, get Sam through school and into a career where she could thrive.
Heartfelt but clear-eyed, No One Else I’d Rather Be is an encouraging resource for parents looking to feel more confidence in the decisions they make regarding their child with a disability—and a testament to the power of a parent’s unconditional love.
