I found this as an amazing resource for parents trying to figure out what to do with their child. Along with Dr. Russell’s “Taking Charge of ADHD book,” this is a great outline.

This book is great!!!

Great resource, awful narrator! The narrator gives the book’s author (and leading researcher of ADHD) a horrible review! Change the narrator to the author of the book and this book will play on repeat in my house!!

Great resource

A lot of good principles here, and very helpful way to frame one's mind about having a child with ADHD, and the nature of the disorder, but the narration was somewhat unenjoyable and monotoned.

Very helpful book, but somewhat annoying narration

The book itself is very useful, but the narrator is horrible. I can honestly say I will not be listening to any book narrated this guy. I do, however, highly recommend the book… in print. Right off the bat I found myself having a better understanding of what my daughter is going through. I’ve been able to adjust my approach and offer more patience with her.

Useful book

This is an excellent that every parent should read! The author helps give parents a new perspective for their child with ADHD and gives practical tools to help the parent help their child.

A Great Resource

This book can transform your relationship with yourself and your child with ADHD. You can read it from frontnto back or skip straight to the chapter that you are dealing with. The advice and empathy come from a place of understanding the at times debilitating neurological disorder.

For any parent of a child with ADHD and for any undiagnosed person, this is the book for you

I am a child clinical psychologist with extensive clinical and research experience related to ADHD. I am also a foster parent, and I thought I might enjoy and find new inspiration in Dr. Barkley's words. Russell Barkley's books are popular but definitely not "pop" psychology; he is a respected scientist practitioner. This book exceeded even my high expectations. Isn't it funny how you can "know" something but still need to hear it again -- in a new way. I found this book to be accurate and grounded while also being warm, encouraging, realistic, and practical. Even the narration well represents Dr. Barkley's authoritative, trustworthy voice.

A Big Dose of Reality, Warmth, and Encouragement

A friend asked me to read this book with her. I wish I’d known about this book sooner. By the time I read it my kids were grown. I struggle through chapter 4 or Principal 4 but by chapter 7 or Principal 7 it started to make sense.

Good to know

This was the most helpful, easy to listen to books I have read on the subject of ADHD. It not only explains the disorder but gives you encouragement, support and instructions on how to handle the struggles of parenting a child with ADHD.

A must read for parents of children with ADHD
