[.ca] Is Your Child Hyperactive? Inattentive? Impulsive? ... (ISBN 067975945X)

Practical help.:
This book has so much practical help! It really made a great difference

Extremely helpful, even for ADD adults!:
OK, so you've read Driven to Distraction, and all the other classics you could find on ADD. You understand the problems that ADD poses, and the theories behind it's treatment, but you're still struggling to cope? Help is here! This is the only book I have found that provides what children and ADDults alike are searching so desperately for...REAL STRUCTURE!! :) I am 33, was diagnosed 4 years ago with ADD/ADHD and even had to leave the workplace because I was such a mess. Like so many people with ADD, medication improved some of my symptoms, but that alone still didn't do it completely. Until I found this book, I was very frustrated by the "try and fail patterns" so inherent in this syndrome! With a little creativity, (and we ADDer's have a lot!) I found it quite easy to tailor the ideas in this book to fit my adult needs and lifestyle and am finding this book a real answer to prayer! Regardless of the age of your children, every parent of an ADD child should have this book in their armory. I highly recommend it for ADD college students and homemakers as well, remembering what the lack of structure in those situations did to my grades and stress level! I simply cannot recommend this book highly enough! It covers some basic medical treatments as well, so if you can only afford one book, this should be it! (I found this book first at the local library and was so thrilled with it that I ordered a copy of my own. I would highly recommend getting your hands on a copy of it ASAP before it goes out of print as the original addition is nearly 10 years old! This text should be a classic!) If you are an ADD adult, I would also highly recommend the following 2 resources also available through Amazon: 1)"Driven to Distraction" for a basic overview of how ADD affects our lives, and... 2)"The Sidetracked Home Executives" for homemakers whose homes are completely out of control. I guarantee that together, these 3 books will absolutely change your life, provided you put the tools they offer, to good use! (Prayer helps too!) ENJOY! :)
