3.0 out of 5 stars Being in Control: Natural Techniques for Increasing Your Potential and Creativity for Success in School, November 10, 2006
By Anna Z. Amar (Gaithersburg, MD, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A VERY short book (maybe so people with attention deficit can read the whole thing?). But, some good (although brief) techniques and explainations for ADD/ADHD kids and their parents on focusing. Nice to find some alternative advice on treatment other than drugs.

5.0 out of 5 stars being in control, July 28, 2003
This book is not only for children with problems, its comprehensive contents are very sound, for children and
for many adults also. Its colourful and the graphics are
warm and friendly. Its positive message on all the pages,
is something I would hope my children will reflect and act
on everyday. The issues covered are not that comprehensive
in themselves, but there again at this small cost. I think
the author has done a lot of research and relayed great sensitivity and caring. I would reccomend this inexpensive
book be part of every childs library
Well done.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money., June 9, 2003
By litXlit (Ca United States) - See all my reviews
If you buy this book, you will get three pages worth of information, in a thirty page book that costs [item price] and could have been written by a junior high school student without doing any research. The author advises relaxation, aroma therapy and affirmations; non-specific suggestions that may help anyone a little, but have no particular relevance to A.D.D. or dyslexia.

My dyslexic son had no interest in this book or its recommendations. I was also very disappointed. Spend your money on the many other excellent books on learning disorders on Amazon.
