In my household we have teaching and health experience and we both found this book useful for our practice. I would have no hesitation in recommending to parents to support them to help both understand and help their child through a world which can be challenging, scary and frustrating.
Easy to read without being condescending.
A must for all those who support children living with ADHD.
It has enough theory and I think it's clinically relevant. A really effective guide.
The guide covers a wide variety of topics that affect children with ADHD, including school performance, social skills, and self-esteem.
I found the advice easy to follow and although it could be considered a 'textbook' it's a very accessible book. Well written and not 'jargony'.
The CBT activities offered in this book are an excellent resource for children, parents, and teachers alike.
Lots of practical examples, and reassuring advice, I'd recommend this to parents, teachers, nurses, practitioners - anyone.
This book is excellent and extremely well thought through and well explained. There is a programme for helping children with ADHD, consisting of carefully- thought-out sessions, with worksheets and clear explanations. The sessions deal with a range of problems, including attention, hyperactivity, impulsivity anxiety and frustration and anger. The child is introduced to all of these topics through the experiences of a boy called Buzz.
Everything in the book is backed up by full references and clinical explanation.
This programme, in conjunction with medication, will help my nephew to understand his behaviours and learn how to manage his complex condition.
From my view, this appears to be a well written treatise and one that any reader will gain some additional knowledge.
Very clearly written and recommended
