Title does not fit the contents

The title of this book does not fit the contents. Perhaps a better title would be 'Strategies for helping a child with ADD cope with school.' I'd say about half of the book was devoted to that. The content was good, just not relevant for a grandparent of an explosive 2 year old.

Not much was devoted to explaining strategies to parents, to help explosive CHILDREN to learn the skills needed to better cope with life, frustration, using words when emotional, etc. So, in my opinion it did not at all live up to the title, which was a disappointment.

Beyond that . . . the book really needed some good editing, in terms of vocabulary. I must have heard the word 'kid' over a thousand times. Some people feel that is a derogatory term, while perhaps the author was trying to seem casual and relevant by using that term exclusively.

But beyond all that . . . the author used a very eclectic vocabulary. Sometimes she used words from the early 1900s, other times what may have been vocabulary exclusive to her profession, and yet other times saying things in ways that were obtuse and required some thought to decipher. But with all that, the narrator's speed didn't allow much time for translation, so there were entire chunks that went over my head. (I have a college degree and consider myself fairly literate.)

You may find this book helpful, but hopefully you have the patience to go back and listen again and maybe pull out a dictionary to decipher what she's trying to say.
