Very helpful and insightful,
This book was a surprise. I hadn’t read the one that came before it “the gift of ADHD” but I will now. The author gently encourages compassion and understanding of these difficult to raise children. Many of the “games” are informal ways to link with your kid by working their strengths. The first part of the book suggests you make a list of what is right with your kid. When I did this I realized just how fascinating he really is. I am starting to turn around my focus from problem oriented to strength oriented. Quite a change.
The activities are not for just one age group. The author discusses one and suggests adaptations for different ages. Also suggests variations depending on your child’s interests. The best part is the author’s understanding the difficulties of raising an ADHD kid, the problems parents encounter and the potential for turning things around to benefit your kid. It is easy to read clear and insightful. It is organized in a way so you can pick one aspect and work on those activities. You don’t have to read cover to cover to start using the techniques.
I recommend this book.

|Great For Parents and Practioners,
A great book for excellent strategies to work with and support students who are distractible in school, whether diagnosed with ADHD or not. I would highly encourage parents to read it and try its suggestions before turning to meds.
