Book Description

July 2002 1878267434 978-1878267436
ADHD: A Survival Guide for Parents and Teachers fills an important need expressed by parents and caretakers of ADHD children who have asked for clear, practical, and easily understood strategies to deal with ADHD children. The books "survival guide" format meets this important need.

The book’s format is designed so the reader can read either from cover to cover and/or read individual sections that are of special interest and deal with a particular need. A "Review and Tips" section is provided at the end of individual sections for a review of important suggestions and themes. The "Review and Tips" format provides the reader with two options: either to review highlighted material and tips immediately after reading a section, or to return to it at a later date.

The book not only covers ADHD problem behaviors in great depth, but it does so in a friendly and supportive style that is easy for readers to use and understand. Rather than a textbook, the book’s style serves as a resource readers can easily use and repeatedly refer to. Parents, teachers, and caretakers of ADHD children will appreciate the sympathetic approach and expert discussion by authors who have worked extensively with ADHD children and their families in a broad range of settings: medical, clinical, and educational. Because the book deals with a childhood disorder that is widely recognized by professionals and growing in recognition among lay people, its ideas and suggestions can be a resource for parents and teachers for years to come.

The book includes a forward, introduction, table of contents, ten chapters, references, exhibits, and recommended readings for parents and children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Read, January 13, 2003
By 
J. Hobbs (CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ADHD: A Survival Guide for Parents and Teachers (Paperback)
As a parent of an ADHD child I found this book to be very easy to read. It has a lot of suggestions that I use with my child at home. I especially like the Review and Tip section which let me look of suggestions quick and easy. This book was able to answer most of my questions that I struggle with including "What should I do if?" when raising my child.

This review is from: ADHD: A Survival Guide for Parents and Teachers (Paperback)
I loved the easy-to-read format and the breadth and depth of the information. A definite go-to handbook for parents of ADD children who are trying to get appropriate services for thier children. Loaded with insights and humor that help me understand and communicate effectively with my son AND his teachers. and my husband and the grandparents....highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read, invaluable help, April 7, 2003
By 
Aaron Airozo (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ADHD: A Survival Guide for Parents and Teachers (Paperback)
This is the perfect book for counselors and other mental health professionals who want up to date information about ADD/ADHD. The way the book is written makes it an excellent referrence for parents and families who are living with a child, or children with ADHD. Parents and teachers can simply turn to the chapter or chapters that deal with pertinent information for their situation. Despite this format, the book is no less cohesive or interesting to read cover-to-cover. I recommend this book without reservation.
