    3.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to follow

    I bought Dr. Silver's book on the recommendation of my daughter's pediatrician. I found it to be quite detailed and well-researched, but it was excruciatingly dry and clinical. I am usually a voracious reader, but I had trouble getting through this book. It's an important reference book if you are doing detailed research, but it's probably not the first book you should tackle after you learn your child has ADD. In my opinion, a better "first book" would be "Driven to Distraction" by Edward Hallowell et al.

    I purchased this book for personal needs as I struggle with my son with ADHD. I wish for him to be successful and be able to function in society. This book gave me additional perspectives and insight. My son cannot communicate well with me so I am constantly searching for resources that can "talk" to me about what to do.

    1.0 out of 5 stars "How to actively sabotage a child"
    Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2024
    As someone "Treated" by the advice of this book and this doctor as a child, I can promise you that all you'll get from this is how to not understand what's happening, how not to teach the child to understand what's happening, how not to teach the child to manage their distractibility, and how to absolutely, completely, miserably make things worse.

    Buy this book if you want to harm and sabotage your child.

    Buy something else if you want to teach them how to recognize and manage their own behavior.
