Wish I had read the reviews
9 Dec 2003
Format:Paperback
What I wanted was some real information on HOW to homeschool my child with ADHD. If I wanted help making the desision to homeschool my child I would have searched for that. This book provides no real help in how to form a plan or curriculum. It has absoluetly nothing to say about how to help your child learn, and quite frankly, despite the title there are few references to any child with ADHD. I already know what it is, I already know what it does to my family, what I wanted was some real help, and this was NOT it.

Need a "pep talk"??
7 April 2002
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is most useful for those parents considering removing their child from public school. It is mainly a "pep talk" for undecided parents. I ordered this book with the expectation that it would provide useful suggestions on how to reach my ADD daughter. I was searching for information on HOW TO TEACH an ADD child. It does have some useful information here and there but the book did not provide the information I was looking for.

Very Disappointed
9 April 2002
Format:Paperback
I purchased this book with hopes of finding some information in teaching my ADHD son. I have been homeschooling for 3 years now and their "start-up" advice, although useful for others, was of no help to me. Most other books that deal with ADD/ADHD focus on children in the public school setting. I set out to find a book specifically dealing with homeschool children. This book is very deceiving in its title and I am saddened that the author would use ADD as a lure to get people to buy her book. Especially homeschoolers, who are often on a very limited budget to begin with. It should be titled, "How to start homeschooling a child with special needs," and leave the ADD out of it. There are some very useful ideas for beginning homeschoolers, but if you are looking for "specific" guidance regarding ADD issues you will be very disappointed.
