  • Exceeded my hopes!
Format: Paperback
I was cautiously optimistic about this book. I excpected my son and I to read this book together while he complained that it bored him to tears. The very first night we read he stopped mid-paragraph to ask questions and discuss what we had read. I was thrilled! He was open and talking - something I don't get very often. I felt like he was beginning to believe that he wasn't the only kid around dealing with this same struggle. This book is a great tool. I believe that it highlights strategies for change. What I find most helpful is that reading the material means that it is coming from another source other than Mom/Dad. This seems to make it easier to accept and discuss. He seems more willing to try things out that have been suggested in the book. ... show more

  • Good for parents and kids
Format: Paperback
Simple to read and understand but also informational. Something even my 13 year old son can read for himself but I can benefit from a parent.

  • Personal touch for ADHD
Format: Paperback
Great book to read with a child. Explains ADHD in a way that can lead to good conversation and answers questions in a more personal way.

  • Knowing you're not Alone!
Format: Paperback
This is a good book for someone who has been recently diagnosed and it's maybe unaware of various therapies, laws, assistance, medications, and how important family support is. All of the above combine a unique path of existence for the person with the diagnosis and how to live with and navigate their lives having the diagnosis of ADD/ADHD. ... show more

  • Great book
Format: Paperback
Recommended by development psychologist, this book really helped my family understand ADHD in a positive but informative way. Identified with the descriptions and found the suggestions helpful. I would recommend this book for any child or parent experiencing ADD/ADHD. It is particularly helpful for reading together as a family. ... show more

  • Best for older kids
Format: Hardcover
I bought this for my 8-year-old who has been diagnosed with ADHD and I think it was too heavy for him. I think it will be more appropriate when he's older and more mature.

  • Really Explains ADD
Format: Paperback
I have recommended this book to parents many times as a way to help their children understand what ADD is. One of the best points in the book is that a diagnosis of ADD is not an excuse. Once one realizes what ADD is all about, one needs to work on ways to be successful, despite it. Written for kids to understand! ... show more
