5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic program. Practical hands-on ideas that work!
Reviewed in Canada on February 20, 2019

First I wish to note that my son who is ADHD, and is using Ritalin, is creative and fully functional with excitement all around him. He has bright impossible ideas and has all the positives an ADHD can have. Except that lots of the negative spontaneous comments and actions have minimized. It makes it much easier for me as a parent to teach him behavioral and life skills because he is calmer and easier to communicate with.
Some reviews dislike the book because it supports medication in addition to behavioral skills. The exercises that these reviews mention may work theoretically, but you would need lots of time and resources on the part of the parent and lots of cooperation on part of the child, besides all the parenting skills that need to be taught with much more patients than with non-ADHD children. For working parents this may be operation impossible. After all said and done, even for parents that have all the time in the world, the child will be busy either with school or with exercise, and almost nothing else.
I've checked the reviews on Amazon.com. Someone posted a very positive and informative review back in January, and the that review already has 110 Helpful hits.

This book is amazing! It has helped me a lot to improve myself as a parent and to understand my child better. It has enriched my understanding of the disorder and provided me with clarity to make decision on what therapy to use, on what topics to discuss with the doctors and professionals , what questions to raise, what tips and advice could school teachers use in the classroom to support my child. I definitely recommend to every parent of children with ADHD as well the other book for adults ADHD

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 24, 2018

As a parent new to the diagnosis of ADHD I have found this book exceptionally valuable in understanding ADHD. I would recommend any book written by R Berkeley including his You Tube videos about the condition of ADHD, parenting ADHD and how to be the executive parent for your child with this diagnosis. Already his books and videos have informed me well enough to deal with school, medical appointments and general life experiences with a knowledgeable and informed grasp of ADHD. Thank you Dr R Berkeley.

This book has been amazingly useful in helping me to understand my son's condition and given me invaluable advice in finding creative ways to support him more effectively. It also gave me reassurance that the problems we experience are pretty standard for ADHD sufferers and I am not failing as a parent.

Excellent book. Very informative and useful in helping us understand how to help, manage and support a child with ADHD. I particularly like that it is very evidence based, with good clear referencing and perspective on all sources of information. It has good supports and plans in it for helping younger children and a great additional reading and supports listing at the back.
