5.0 out of 5 stars What a gift!, October 16, 2000

By	"momofspecialkids" (Colorado Springs, CO United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Don'T-Give-Up Kid and Learning Differences (Paperback)

I actually had trouble breathing when I read this book! It was as if someone had followed my son around and wrote a book just for him. What a self-esteem booster for the kid with a "learning difference" to know that they are not alone! I plan on getting extra copies for every special teacher I know as well as my son's doctor. I wish it were in the hands of every elementary teacher in the nation, as well as the hands of every special learner!

5.0 out of 5 stars Honest and Uplifting, November 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Don'T-Give-Up Kid and Learning Differences (Paperback)

Unlike so many other kids' books on the subject, this one doesn't pretend that ADHD is cute or painless. It heals because it faces up to the pain and rejection, while offering honest solutions. Moreover, it assures the child that ADD has a uniquely positive side. I bought a boxful for my clients.

5.0 out of 5 stars Self-understanding leads to self-direction., November 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Don'T-Give-Up Kid and Learning Differences (Paperback)

This book helps children understand LD as a handicap that they can do something about. It is written in a way that helps you explain what their problems are and what they can do about them. It's great.

I notice that some reviews refer to ADD and some refer to LD. The author writes of learning differences which could apply to children with different problems. Read more
