I was given a copy of this book by the publisher and asked for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to write a review.
That said, only a motivated parent and teen would make good use of this book. Otherwise it could just be one more thing for them to battle over.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher, I am under no obligation to provide a positive review.
This book is a great resource for teens to work through on their own and if they would like to share the information that they are working on with their parent, or another trusted adult, it would be a great start for important conversations. My favorite parts of the book were how the ideas and information were presented in a way that teens can understand and relate to, Allison also included many ideas of how teens can manage their ADHD and succeed at home and in school. I would highly recommend this book to parents and teachers that have a teen with ADHD.
Although my son has not been diagnosed with ADHD, I do notice that he struggles with organization and staying focused.
While reading this book, I realized that I have these same distractions too! I feel this can help both of us with the items mentioned above. I look forward to putting the advice in this book to practice.
This book is just what I needed for my 9th grader. A lot of the ADHD books I've found target younger kids, so having a chapter titled "Sometimes you're a little bit extra" let me know we have something just right! Lots of great real-life scenarios my son could relate to.
My only critique is that the chapters can be visually subdued. There are full page colorful cartoon-like drawings at the start of each chapter but after that it's text-heavy with the occasional black and white drawing. Great for preventing distractions but a bit of a tough sell for teenagers all about the visual stimulation of electronic media.
Overall a good book to dialogue with my teen without preaching.
