In Flipping ADHD on Its Head, Dr. Jim Poole introduces and explores a holistic, integrated, and empowering approach to identifying and promoting the strengths of ADHD children. Rather than framing ADHD as a disability, Dr. Jim challenges the current stigma and encourages readers to see it as a gift, even if it comes with a set of real challenges. Rather than ''fixing'' ADHD, Dr. Jim will lead readers on a highly practical journey to leverage the unique strengths of ADHD through effective parenting strategies, study skills, nutrition, exercise, sleep, medication, and more. With a foreword by Edward Hallowell, MD, Flipping ADHD on Its Head is a comprehensive approach that is positive, uplifting, and empowering.

Editorial Reviews

Review

''In tennis, there is nothing more critical than understanding, developing, and applying one's strengths toward success. If I were to take everything I know about coaching youth and apply it to parenting an ADHD child, this book would be it. High praise to Dr. Jim for Flipping ADHD on Its Head.'' --Chuck Kriese, ACC's winningest coach, coach of the U.S. Junior Davis Cup team

''Having combatted the devastating stigma and difficult challenges of mental health for over 30 years within my own family, I could not be more thrilled to see Dr. Jim finally getting this message out to the world. Flipping ADHD on Its Head is a welcome addition to the cause and the first book I'd recommend to any parent struggling with an ADHD child. Dr. Jim's approach gives so much hope to an area that has often been hopeless. Bless you, Dr. Jim, for this gift to the world.'' --Van Eure, International Restaurateur of the Year, Chair Walk for Hope

''I've read several books by physicians and clinicians about ADHD for patients and families. This is at the top of my list.''

Mark Simms, MD, Director of Children's Hospital in Wisconsin

"Having a FastBraiin in a Chevrolet world can be quite challenging. Dr. Jim has figured out a way to take what many doctors and people consider a handicap and turn it into an asset! This book will be life-changing for families all over our country!"

Barry Foote, Entrepreneur, former MLB Player and Coach

"This informative book provides awareness and understanding along with skills and strategies for parents of ADHD children . . . The specific strategies and concrete suggestions for helping ADHD children become successful learners, along with Dr. Jim's encouragement and positivity, result in a valuable resource for parents." Diane Payne, principal, educator, author
"Whether you are a mom, or a dad, or a teacher, or just somebody interested in learning about this fascinating condition, Dr. Jim is your man."

--Edward Hallowell, MD, coauthor of Driven to Distraction

About the Author

Jim Poole, MD FAAP, clinical associate of Duke Health, founded FastBraiin in 2010 on the premise that individuals with ADHD have unique strengths in athletics, business, engineering, medicine, sales, the arts, and the classroom-wherever a quick and adaptable brain shines.

Dr. Jim's understanding of ADHD and the method of FastBraiin is the culmination of over 40 years of professional experience-listening to, learning from, and caring for ADHD children, youth, and adults. Dr. Jim graduated from Clemson University and the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC, completed his pediatric residency at William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso, TX, served as Chief of Pediatrics at the Army hospital in Stuttgart, Germany, and founded his current practice, Growing Child Pediatrics in Raleigh, NC. Today, Growing Child Pediatrics is an affiliate of Duke Health and one of the largest pediatric practices in North Carolina.

Reframe the positives of ADHD

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2020

Verified Purchase

I liked how this book instead called ADHD "fast brain." I began to see the positives of my son and also how to see medication as a tool instead of as a last resort and option that he cannot function without using. I also learned a lot from the sections on vitamins. Though I can't go to North Carolina to the author's clinics, I think that I have better perspective and I am looking at my son's diagnosis in a way more positive and practical light after reading this book.

I love this book and its approach to ADHD. Its packed with so much useful information that i may need to reread to commit it all to memory. The recommendation given are not far fetched and the author gives solid explanations for just about every single recommendation made. I strongly suggest reading this book if you have a loved one struggling with ADHD.

As parents we must be our child's #1 encourager and fan

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2021

Verified Purchase

I love this book and have recommended it to many. I love that so much of what Dr. Jim says aligns with the approach that I have been using in helping my own Fastbraiin child to approach school, friendships and athletics. I am grateful that our approach has allowed him to see major success in school. He is a straight A student and LOVES math (testing well above grade level). He is also above grade level in reading, but it is not something he would choose to do independently so we approach it differently. He is also a very competitive/successful swimmer and soccer player - but his success in academics and athletics are also an area where we have to work hard to tackle the perfectionism that seems to come with his ADHD. He has BIG FEELINGS and when he doesn't see the success he expects of himself (and often others), trying to "talk him off the ledge" is an issue. This book has given me a breath of fresh air and new ideas in my approach. It has also been a motivating factor in my decision to return to school to obtain my master's degree in social work so that I can help children, parents and educators to find a better understanding of the approaches necessary in helping children with ADHD succeed. Thanks, Dr. Jim.

Ms. B.

I "flipped my parenting" for the better after struggling for so long.

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2020

I "flipped my parenting" and just like that *snaps fingers* by implementing JUST two tiny tips of the advice from the beginning of this this book yesterday and today it's like night and day here. No tantrums and/or yelling getting the kiddo off to school both yesterday and today. Our mornings are stressed and some days tearfilled practically every morning. Even bedtime yesterday was a breeze. I'm completely gobsmacked because none of it was difficult to implement. It just took some simple forthought about what came out of my mouth and what expressions I wore on my face. I agree with the author everything that I was doing before was working against my poor kid and not for him. I see him differently now. I have greater empathy for his struggles and have learned to focus on what's important. By tempering my anxiety over his behavior (I never know what he's going to do or say next) and eliminating the criticism (I thought it was direction but this book helped me to see that I was in fact critical). I can't recommend this book enough, while my son's challenges aren't academic this book is still chocked full of goodness. Even if I stopped reading right now, it's already changed our lives for the better.

New Insights into ADHD

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2020

Flipping ADHD on Its Head by Dr. Jim Poole needs to be required reading for parents, doctors, teachers, and school administrators—in short anyone who works with kids and particularly with kids who have ADHD. Readers will notice right away that Dr. Poole emphasizes focusing on the positives of ADHD instead of considering it a negative liability or disability. Specifically, Dr. Poole wants people to rethink the impulsivity, distractibility, and hyperactivity common to ADHD as creativity, curiosity, and energy. He has coined the term Fastbraiin (yes the “i” appears twice) to describe the philosophy and approach to treating ADHD used in his South Carolina clinics and now available in his book.

Dr. Poole emphasizes two main things in his book. The first is that positivity is so important in working with children with ADHD. Dr. Poole provides evidence that individuals with ADHD receive so many more negative messages which pull them down and make them feel defeated. Anyone who is in a classroom or works with kids will be familiar with the refrain of “Johnny, pay attention! Johnny, look at me! Johnny, sit on your bottom!” over and over. Dr. Poole provides information on how to rephrase items as a positive message that doesn’t squelch excitement and energy but helps to harness it. After setting up the positives of ADHD and why positivity is so important in our interactions, Dr. Poole moves on to a series of chapters on “Flipping” all aspects of life including parenting, education, exercise, rest, nutrition, and medication. He emphasizes that children with ADHD need to be taught how to study and utilize their unique strengths. Dr. Poole has pretty much distilled his “Fastbraiin” formula into the pages of the book.

Reading Dr. Poole’s recommendations, my thoughts were this makes sense and this will require a lot of time and energy to implement. Following this formula would not be an easy process but implementing even a portion will have huge dividends. My only reservation was the emphasis on using the specific supplements available through his clinic. Although geared specifically towards people with ADHD, anyone would benefit from incorporating these suggestions. So, if you or someone you love has ADHD—read this book! If that doesn’t describe you, read the book anyway to help your brain and body work even better!
