5.0 out of 5 stars The book has been a wonderful coach to me as a father., October 2, 1998
By A Customer
Until very recently I hadn't even heard of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Typical of most parents, I refused to acknowledge that my child had any "illness" serious enough to warrant a clinical designation. Most kids generally seem over-energetic to their parents anyway, so how is a parent to know when a child crosses the line to "hyperactivity?" Only a clinical professional can offer an accurate diagnosis and I urge all parents to seek help if they suspect that their kids may need help.

Once I learned and acknowledged to myself that my child was, in fact, more than just "energetic," I was scared. However, I was also determined to learn as much as possible about ADHD and had the good fortune of attending one of Dr. Jacobs' public speaking engagements in the Boston area, where he is very well known and respected. (He is often interviewed on the local news shows, and writes a weekly column in one of the area newspapers.) Well, I bought his book that day and read it cover-to-cover in two sittings.

Dr. Jacobs presents his material in a very pragmatic and understandible fashion. His comprehensive strategy covers much more than just how to help the child, which it does extremely effectively. He also describes creative ways for parents to help one another. He focuses on both problem prevention and resolution. I discovered through other literature and journals that Dr. Jacobs is an expert on the naturally different parenting instincts of fathers vs. mothers. I think that his knowledge and experience in this differentiation are key to the success of his methods and teachings.

I recommend "Fathering the ADHD Child" to anyone with children, not just those with ADHD children. I think Dr. Jacobs' coaching techniques are universally applicable and helpful to any parent who could use some guidance on familial responsibility and relationship nurturing, which includes just about any mom or dad I have ever met.
