Being the parent of a newly diagnosed 3rd grader I didn't know where to turn. We are trying medications and counseling, but I needed more information. Of all the books I've read on the subject this is my #1! Not only does it hit the medical side of ADHD; it is very good at explaining what the child is going through. Written by an adult that grew up with ADHD and is raising his own ADHD child now, and a mom that didn't discover her child was ADHD until she was in college, it has insight that I haven't found anywhere else. I completely recommend it, especially with its Christian content and references.
This book is an absolute must have for any parent who is struggling with a child with ADHD! My son was diagnosed 3 years ago and I have done tons research and read many books on the subject in that time! Most books say pretty much the same things - your child has a disability- not so this book! The book's unique way of looking at the issue, stems from one of the authors (Dennis Swanberg) actually having ADHD himself as well as both he and the Co-author Diane Passno raising children of their own with ADHD. After you have read this book you will realize that your child isn't disabled at all and you will have a new understanding of this "disorder" and your child.
FANTASTIC book for understanding the person you love with ADHD. I grew up with an ADHD sister and mom, and now I'm married to an ADHD person, and I still learned some things. From the outside looking in, this book has helped me understand their struggles, and not be so quick to get mad.If you are the person with ADHD, you might be surprised by some of what you read, too. My hubby was, and I think maybe he does a better job of coping with some of the quirks of it now.
Parents of children with ADHD who have struggled with knowing what to do and what not to do can breathe a big sigh of relief as they read through this book. It is not a cure-all, but it does let the reader know that they are not in the boat alone. They give helpful insight for parents and children. Their advice is practical and encouraging-- not trying to take any of the parenting responsibility from the parents, but also not trying to shame families who struggle everyday with the effects of ADHD on their family. The story is told from the viewpoint of parent, child, and medical professional in an easy to read and understand format. As a an elementary school principal, I will be recommending this book over and over, I know.
Starts out encouraging, however, It almost feels as though the stories are tied up too neatly. Feels as though the darkness of adhd is left out and not everyone ends up at the top. Didn't feel as authentic as it could have been. Online forums have been more encouraging. Good clinical review of the dr in the second half of the book.
Looking for a different perspective on ADHD? Here it is. The book doesn't try to whitewash the very real concerns of ADHD, yet manages to reveal some positive aspects. And it provides some coping strategties and "lessons learned" that can benefit the whole family.
This book was a quick, encouraging read! I purchased two extra copies to pass along to two young Mothers of ADHD children, and they both loved it. One passed it on to another. It is encouraging, and has already been a great help in understanding my unique little granddaughter.
