Inspired by real-life parenting moments, Max is more than just a story—he's a helpful reminder for kids navigating ADHD, executive function challenges, or simply big bursts of creativity.
Author Sarah Sparks shares how "What would Max do?" has become a playful but powerful cue in her home—helping her kids pause, reset, and take responsibility before bouncing to the next adventure. This conversation is full of honest, heartwarming reflections on parenting, mess-making, and teaching children how to embrace both joy and responsibility.
