Editorial Reviews

Review

The note of optimism sounded in the title of Beurkens' work is present throughout the volume, which functions as a written version of a deep, calming breath taken in the midst of the turmoil parents can feel while raising their children. A levelheaded, readable manual for taking some of the chaos out of child-rearing. - Kirkus Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars ADD? Find Hope, Health, and Solutions Here!
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2016

As the founder of The Pain Free Living Program™, children and adults from all over the world come to me seeking guidance and relief from "mysterious" persistent symptoms and conditions such as ADD. Again and again I hear the same sad story from concerned parents who would do anything to help their children live happy, healthy lives. They have tried everything that conventional medicine had to offer yet received little to no positive results in return.
Dr. Nicole Beurkens pulls back the curtain and solves the mystery. Her practical advice and holistic approach to solving the ADD epidemic, addresses the underlying root cause and will show you the road back to health.
There's no need to suffer, settle, or learn to cope.
Read this book, find hope, health, and solutions that really work!

As a physician who believes in minimizing the role of prescription medications in the treatment of children, Dr. Beurkens’ book is exactly the kind of resource I want to offer patients in my practice! There are many underlying issues that can lead to anxiety, attention, depression, behavior problems, and the solutions offered in this book get to the root of the issues so children can thrive. Parents will appreciate that the book is organized by topic, so they can turn to the sections most applicable to the issues they are facing right now. I have no doubt that life will get better for families who read and apply this information. This book truly is a MUST READ for parents looking for answers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple yet powerful!
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2016
Verified Purchase
This book is easy to read with simple strategies to support parents who are looking for safer and alternative ways to help their children improve. All the approaches used in this book are great no matter the severity of your child(ren)'s issues. I highly recommend this book for all parents, teachers, day care providers, and anybody else working with children on a regular basis! This book is broken into very specific chapters, making it easy to pick one area to work on at a time. You can then go back and reread a chapter to continue moving forward in that area or try to implement new strategies by starting a new chapter. You'll want this book easy to access at all times!

This is a wonderful resource for families with individuals displaying developmental or behavioral issues. Whether dealing with specific diagnoses or ongoing difficulties, this book is a treasure trove of information that is reliable, educational, and practical. Current research on a variety of timely topics is presented in a readable and accessible style. Parents are given helpful support to understand what contributes to behavioral problems, and why particular responses do or do not work. Every chapter contains clinic-tested remedies that can be immediately implemented, including honest encouragement for those requiring patience and persistence. The prevalence of the five key areas presented, and the variety of treatments for each, make this a valuable toolkit!

There are a lot of books out there to choose from but this book has techniques that are practical and can be implemented that day. It's an easy read, packed full
of tips and ideas that will guide you in how to get a positive outcome. Dr Beurkens has put all her best strategies in one place whether your child has behavior, processing or attentional challenges-she has a strategy for you. My daughter has significant challenges and when we put some simple strategies in place we saw changes within a very short period of time. Nothing we have seen from other professional groups! Great read!
