5.0 out of 5 stars Any Parent with a typical Child should read this book!, 4 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding ADHD: Parent's Guide to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Children (Paperback)
Forget ADHD for one moment - this book is a fantastic read for any parent with a child who can sometimes be difficult, high on life or just a handful! My son has two or three tendencies towards ADHD (my reason for purchasing) so is not classed as hyperactive - it doesn't, however, make him any easier to deal with!

The book gives excellent, common sense advice, to those who may be too close to the situation to be able to be to make rational decisions on how to deal with the latest blips in behaviour!

Excellent.

3.0 out of 5 stars First-timers, 11 Jun 2003
This review is from: Understanding ADHD: Parent's Guide to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Children (Paperback)
7 years ago I read "Toddler Taming" by the same author and first began to suspect that my daughter had ADHD after reading his chapter on the condition. Now it has been extended to cover an entire book. Handled with wit, charm and an easy style, "Understanding ADHD" is the perfect book for those approaching the subject for the first time. The humourous illustrations and descriptions of typical daily frustrations for the ADHDer, show the whole family that someone else understands! A good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars ADD parents and teachers: required reading, 5 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding ADHD: Parent's Guide to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Children (Paperback)
I am the mother of an ADD child, and first read this book about three years ago. It contains plenty of information on possible causes, symptoms, lookalike conditions, medication, suggestions for parents and teachers, diagnostic criteria and lots more. While providing all the main facts it is also easy to read , and contains some amusing cartoon type drawings which help lighten the content while ably depicting the ADD child in action...I would recommend this book to any parent who suspects their child may have ADD, and to teachers, who I feel need more information about the condition.
