Taking Charge of ADHD: The Complete, Authoritative Guide for Parents (Revised Edition)
Date undefinedI'm a year into the search for help for my 8 year old son with AD/HD. Reading this book at first was a drag....I have been on the internet and learned a lot about the whys and the hows. However, what was very helpful were the parts about how to handle social situations and others reactions to the situation. It's hard to explain over and over why your kid is on drugs to your friends when they don't "see" the problem. At least this book gave me some vindication that I am in fact doing the right thing. I guess you could say it's a good security blanket.

Date undefinedThere are a lot of books from so-called experts.
The reality is that the best book out there is Barkley's ADHD and The Nature of Self-Control.
However, that book is meant for professionals.
This book is the parent version of the book.
It is meant to deliver the best facts, pure and simple.
I say that as someone with ADHD for all my life and an educational psychologist for almost a decade.

Date undefinedThis is an excellent book. I have a Master's degree in Special Education and have worked in my field for some time. I have heard many professionals talk about ADHD. I thought I knew something.....until I read this book. As a parent of a child with ADHD, this book is a must have. If you have accepted your child's disability and truly want to help him or her, buy this book. You will learn how your child's brain is functioning as well as correct parenting styles for you to help your child succeed and have a happier home life.
