--THOM HARTMANN
Author of ADD: A Different Perception
and The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight

5.0 out of 5 stars A label worth having, 2 May 2004
By A Customer
I am an Education Professional with a bright child who simply refuses to conform, questions everything, procrastinates to the extreme, holds unfeasibly high self standards, gets frustrated when he cannot reach them, is opinionated, hates sports, detests playtime, cannot bond with his peers - I could go on and on. None of these traits are seen as positive in an educational environment. And yet here is this beautiful child - imaginative, creative, intelligent, curious, passionate and spontaneous and all anyone wants to do is label him ADD or worse. It is heartbreaking when you know that you have this incredible little man who has nothing wrong with him but a different way of seeing the world. If you are feeling like I have felt, read this book and feel empowered to say "I do not have a defiant unyeilding child but a strong willed, determined individual who could change the world" Thomas Alva Edison did! The Edison-trait is a label I can cope with.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for the Parent of a Bright Child., 27 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This book is a breath of fresh air! At last a book that doesn't just discuss the intellect of the child but the personality traits as well. It describes three types of children, The Dreamer, The Discoverer and The Dynamo. My son is a combination of the last two. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. If you have a bright, fidgety child and people constantly ask you if it's a food allergy or ADD when you know in your heart it isn't then this is the book for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars A difficult child ? The wrong label, 8 Jan 2006
By Unhappy (Bucks, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
If teachers say your child is difficult, unhappy and underperforming at school then read this book. It may give you the answers you are looking for. ALL teachers should read it because there will be children in their classes whose needs are not being met by conventional right-brain educational techniques.

This book could radically change the way you appraise, communicate and feel about your child and lead to a great deal more happiness in your household and confidence in your child.
