Summary: It's opened my eyes!
Review: Being the parent of a newly diagnosed 3rd grader I didn't know where to turn. We are trying medications and counseling, but I needed more information. Of all the books I've read on the subject this is my #1! Not only does it hit the medical side of ADHD; it is very good at explaining what the child is going through. Written by an adult that grew up with ADHD and is raising his own ADHD child now, and a mom that didn't discover her child was ADHD until she was in college, it has insight that I haven't found anywhere else. I completely recommend it, especially with its Christian content and references.

Summary: A Big Sigh of Relief
Review: Parents of children with ADHD who have struggled with knowing what to do and what not to do can breathe a big sigh of relief as they read through this book. It is not a cure-all, but it does let the reader know that they are not in the boat alone. They give helpful insight for parents and children. Their advice is practical and encouraging-- not trying to take any of the parenting responsibility from the parents, but also not trying to shame families who struggle everyday with the effects of ADHD on their family. The story is told from the viewpoint of parent, child, and medical professional in an easy to read and understand format. As a an elementary school principal, I will be recommending this book over and over, I know.
