Editorial Review:
Three points of view-parent's, therapist's, and child's-make this the most practical guide on the market for raising a child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or other behavioral issues.Traditional parenting and discipline books aren't effective for parents who are dealing with kids with ADHD, OCD, depression or other disorders. They need a guide that will help them with the unique discipline and organization challenges kids with these issues have. When getting up, going to school, completing homework, helping with chores, and getting to bed all become battlegrounds, the step-by-step proven techniques presented here will help parents achieve peace in their households. It will teach parents how to:¥ Engage in proactive, not reactive, parenting
¥ Discipline consistently and effectively
¥ Deal with stalling, forgetting, overreacting, and other everyday behavior problems
¥ Work with a child's teachers, and more.

Rating:  - A good book for Basic Behavior Modification NOT for special needs

Rating: - Very comforting
I really thought this was a great book. Makes you feel like there are others who are having the same difficulties as you. Had many helpful ideas that really work.
Rating:  - helpful ideas
If you can get past the expectations of the author/mother there are a lot of great ideas to help life go smoother at home. Using calendars, lists for morning & evening preparations, and incentives more often than punishments has made life in our home a lot more peaceful!
Rating: - This Book is AMAZING!
I have read so many books on this subject and this is the only one that tackles the day to day issues that many books do not. This book was loaded with practical suggestions and methods that restore calm, which is so important for children with ADHD and autistic spectrum disorders. One of the main reasons I loved this book is because it truly helps with discipline. We are so quick to dismiss certain behavior because we blame it on their condition, when in fact, they crave it probably more than a ... Read More
