An exercise in practical "metacognition"

This is a well-written, well-organized, insightful look into helping your kid understand their own brain. Rather than just medicating disturbing behavior into more acceptable mildness, the author helps parents understand both their kids and their own selves. This is an ambitious and rare goal: thinking about our own thinking. Since parents are just grownup kids themselves, trying to understand confusing behavior is doubly difficult while still struggling with one's own puzzling, often unrecognized suboptimal behaviors. I particularly liked the sections in which the author helped people recognize their own family structure and home problems. It is only by healing ourselves that we can then hope to do the same for others. Another powerful theme of the book was that ADHD isn't entirely behavior problems, but also imparts possible strengths. Helping one's child recognize their own strengths while moderating weaknesses is the smart, mature response. Overall, this is an excellent book for helping one's hyperactive, mercurial-attention child deal productively with their world while growing with them. Highly recommended!

Informative and great practical advice

This an incredible book. This is a myst read gor an parent of a child or children with ADHD. Vivian Foster gives advice not only for informative published studies of ADHD but also for her own experience of her own child and other children she has worked with ADHD.The book starts off with what ADHD is and the different types of conditions of it. Then she goes on to what worked for her, what did not work, but could work for someone else as every child with ADHD is different. Then, her 8 step program was created from her own experience. Then, a message to parents to take care of themselves as well.It's a great all-around book. Strategies to try with children, possibly what to expect, and not to give up. Also, a message that as parents, we are not alone. Other parents are also dealing with their children's needs when it comes to ADHD.

What if it isn't ADHD at all?

A valuble resource for exploring ADHD from a parent who's 'been there'. This is written from a non-judgmental place of expertise. Some helpful parts in particular on determining whether or not your child actually has ADHD (which is a contentious topic in itself) and 'what if it isn't ADHD at all? Overall, very good thank you.

benefits for anyone who has child or will have child

Although my kids don’t have adhd but the book taught me a lot of things to prevent adhd or make less. Nothing wrong with having adhd but how you as parent Handel it is important. I enjoyed the chapter that talks about statements to avoid which you can focus on your game but not homework.. it’s better to say you can focus on both your computer game and homework.. small difference but big impact.. thank you Vivian for teaching me as parent how to handle and prevent adhd for my kids. Recommend for all parents
