Who needs consultants and continuing psychological tests, etc., when you just need to parent correctly and consistently to get results for many children...My child was medicated for ADHD from 1st grade till 6th and using these techniques, we took him off his meds immediately and I literally, "got my child back." He was a mess - depressed, failing in school, a discipline nightmare, rude and someone, you just didn't want to be around...using the REST methods, we have a child that we never thought we would have. He isn't perfect (he is a teenager), but we and his teachers are amazed at the difference! A MUST READ FOR PARENTS OF ADD/ADHD children.

Excellent Book. Perfect for Parents with a HyperActive child.

Very Sage advice.

Don't expect your child to admit that it works; but it works.

We are following Stein's method with our younger kids (With his other book "Ritalin is not the answer"), and with the adolescent - we are following the REST program described in this book and it works like magic. incredible.

When I first started reading this book I thought the author took a bit much for granted.

After applying the program (which took study and practice on my part) I was amazed at the turn around in my children. I'm so glad I didn't give up. I have one child with special needs and I am still trying to adapt the program for him. If I could get the program to work for him as well, our entire family structure would be more cohesive. I'm grateful that people like Dr Stein share their experience and understanding with those of us who need it so much.

Dave Stein has written another practical guide for parents. It is very helpful for all parents, not just those whose children have been labeled with a "disorder". His Real Economy System for Teens is just what all teens need to be prepared for the real world. This is a great companion book to go with "Ritalin is Not the Answer: Action Guide", which is designed to help parents with younger children.

We were so impressed with the book after reading it that we went to visit Mr. Stein. He couldn't help our son and didn't have any useful recommendations. What a letdown!
