5.0 out of 5 stars My son's pediatrician said this book will help me a lot!, March 27, 1999

This review is from: The A.D.D. Hyperactivity Workbook for Parents, Teachers, and Kids (Paperback)

This book provides simple strategies to help parents understand and manage a child with ADD/ADHD. The practical suggestions about behavior management are clear and simple. There are charts and scales to evaluate how your child is doing on medication and suggestions for teachers to help in the classroom. Best of all my likes the charts and stickers supplied with the book.

This book is moderately useful especially if you are unsure of your parenting practices. The main content of the book seems to focus on the outlook of the parent toward the ADD child. There are many worksheets that can help parents to figure out where they stand on the issues at hand (especially the issue of medication). If you are confident in your parenting practices then...well, this is no more valuable than a counseling session.

2.0 out of 5 stars High expectations, low satisfaction., January 21, 2005

This review is from: The A.D.D. Hyperactivity Workbook for Parents, Teachers, and Kids (Paperback)

I have to admit I was disappointed in this book. I ordered it because I knew the author, Harvey C. Parker was involved in CHADD, a support group for parents of children with ADD. This book does a good job covering the basics, but if you are already an educated parent about ADD and strategies, it offers nothing new or advanced. I'd say this book might be helpful for a parent who has a child aged 4-6, and who knows very little about ADD. The sticker charts in the book are definitely geared toward younger children. One example: there is a "Good Bedtime Behavior" chart with a picture of a bed with a teddy bear on it. There are ten circles on the headboard/footboard of the bed to put stickers on for behaving at bedtime. Definitely not for my ten year old boy!
