    Rave Reviews From the Experts!

    "An excellent and practical workbook developed out of years of experience and caring. I highly recommend this workbook."
    --Edward Hallowell, M.D.author of Driven To Distraction & Answers To Distraction

    "Finally, a book for the kids! One that they can really use to boost their self-esteem, along with good information for their parents to help them understand also. It's just like having your own portable support group--take it with you, and read and write when you feel you need an ego boost. An easy-to-read book for everyone: parents, teachers, students--it goes a long way in advocating understanding of AD/HD--what it is, and what it is NOT!!!"
    --Theresa C. Cavanaugh, LDT-C, President, Learning Disabilities Association of New York

    "Kerin's understanding, borne of her many years of working in the field of AD/HD, has given her the ability to write a workbook that is an essential and comprehensive resource."
    --Roy J. Boorady, M.D., Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, New York University School of Medicine Director, Psychopharmacology Service, NYU Child Study Center

    4.0 out of 5 stars AD/HD Success, June 28, 2010
    This review is from: AD/HD SUCCESS! Solutions for Boosting Self-Esteem: The Diary Method for Ages 7-17 (Paperback)
    This is an ongoing thing within my home. I have a 9 and 10 year old that are ADHD and a 6 year old that is ADHD/ODD. The biggest problem I've seen is the lack of knowledge within the school system for these children. People are uneducated on how this really works {watch for my Family Friday post on this}.

    This workbook focus' on the diary method. You can make copies of appropriate pages and have your child{ren} fill them out. This helps them to determine their feelings and how they are coping with things. This also allows parents to see progress and frustrations and be able to speak freely about them with their children. You can also tell what methods are working.

    This book contains age appropriate diary pages, with a variety of options in each age ranking {7/8, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14 and 15-17}. There is also a feelings rating log if needed. You can pick and choose with your child what areas you want to focus on. Then, when those are complete, go back to others. Remember to not overwhelm your child. It will turn them off to trying toward any progress.

    There are encouraging phrases every page or so as well as several success stories included in the back of the book.

    Is this all the information you need as an ADHD parent? No. But this is a great helper and if used in a *wanting to know way* this can open many door to you being able to further help your child.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Communicate About What Really Matters, April 20, 2010
    This review is from: AD/HD SUCCESS! Solutions for Boosting Self-Esteem: The Diary Method for Ages 7-17 (Paperback)
    AD/HD Success is a book for improving communication between parent and child so that understanding and mutual respect may grow. What parent doesn't want that?

    Our fast-paced, multi-faceted, technology-distracted lives leave us shouting at each other over media noise and talking at each other while on our way to somewhere else.

    Thank God for this book: a workbook for parent and child that may be shared with teachers and that progresses as the child grows. An opportunity to stop. Get quiet. Listen to each other about things that really matter. Share feelings. Get real.

    I recommend this book.

    Nancy Oelklaus, Ed. D.

    4.0 out of 5 stars 5-10 Minutes A Night, September 30, 2010
    This review is from: AD/HD SUCCESS! Solutions for Boosting Self-Esteem: The Diary Method for Ages 7-17 (Paperback)
    Imagine being at the fair; all the lights flashing and the sounds of music and voices and bells catching your attention for this game or that attraction. Now imagine trying to sit and do homework amidst all that chaos; every person walking by holding something unusual to be investigated. That is how I imagine living in my son's head must be. The frustration of trying to pay attention to instructions when rides are flashing and whirling; knowing that you should be doing something a parent asked but not remembering what it was amongst all the games and prizes. And then realizing that you missed the directions the teacher just gave on how to do the assignment, yet again. It sounds like being stuck in a nightmare and getting in trouble for it. Very demoralizing indeed.

    If you're the parent of an ADD or AD/HD child, you have probably faced the "to medicate or not to medicate" question. No matter your answer to that question, it is important to be involved and to aid your child in becoming self aware. Kerin Bellak-Adams did a fantastic job of writing age relevant, and appropriately short, journaling prompts in "AD/HD Success! Solutions for Boosting Self-Esteem The Diary Method" to open the lines of communication between parent and child. This workbook helps children ages 7-17 focus on the positive things they did that day instead of only what went wrong. It also helps the parents realize specific areas of need the child may have, but are unable to express.

    This workbook is a must have for families struggling to connect with an AD/HD child, and vice versa.
