5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for the frustrated parent of an ADHD child......, April 22, 1998

This review is from: Voices From Fatherhood: Fathers Sons & Adhd (Hardcover)

"Voices" is a must read for the frustrated parent of an ADHD child....regardless of gender! We search for the right combination of medication and TLC only to face further disappointments and setbacks. This book is a compilation of experience from the real experts....fathers of ADHD sons. I gained so much more perspective about my son's ADHD and how it effects him. It's so easy to forget the somewhat hidden part of the "D"eficit and expect them to hurry up and "get it" so they can act "normal." "Voices" is a great wake-up call to remind us once again that as parents of ADHD kids....the greatest amount of change will likely have to occur in US....not in our child. Along with the heartfelt commentary of ADHD fathers the authors have presented some good, sound advice on communication technique and behavior modification.
