Reseñas de la Crítica

“Short enough for a busy parent to actually read and use; utterly reliable and authoritative but never pedantic; wise, kind, and teeming with the chirping voices of children who have ADHD; this cornucopia of a book will feed you over and over again. Wonderfully written, infused with positive energy and solid information. All parents of children who have ADHD should buy it.” (Edward Hallowell, MD, best-selling author of Delivered from Distraction)

“We have many effective treatments and strategies to help kids with ADHD better manage daily life, but this book will provide that equally important intervention: feeling understood. I love how this book helps parents create a deeper relationship with their kids so that the whole family can thrive." (Ari Tuckman, PsyD, MBA, author of More Attention, Less Deficit and Understand Your Brain, Get More Done)

“When I give presentations for parents of children with ADHD and executive skill challenges, my message to them is Most of these kids turn out fine! This book is an excellent blueprint for parents who want to make that happen. Dr. Saline is a skilled therapist who has learned to listen to her clients. This book teaches us to do the same.” (Peg Dawson, EdD, psychologist and author of Smart but Scattered)

So helpful!

I’ve struggle for years trying to get my hands around the ‘whys’ of my daughter’s behaviour. This book has given me a deeper understanding of what is actually happening in the household and structure to constructively deal with the challenges.

good and compassionate info

Very helpful to see the different points of view. Helps to remember to bring compassion dealing with ADHD child

Thank you

My son age 7 was just diagnosed with ADHD and this book gave me insight on how he is feeling.

Highly recommend

My son was just diagnosed with ADHD and this book helped me to understand how his brain works differently. I really got insight from it and recommend it. I was also to relate my own thoughts and behaviors to the stories and information provided. I feel more empathy toward my son and am grateful this book did that for us.

A must-read

This book is a must read for parents, caregivers and teachers! If a child you love has ADHD I highly recommend this book. I am an adult with ADHD and my son has been recently diagnosed- and I found this resource really valuable.

Very informative

I love that the book also gives you parent’s thoughts along with the kids thoughts and how the author gives you examples of how to implement the 5C’s.

Just good helpful stuff

Sharon did an excellent job of giving scientific data paired with helpful advice. I also like how she separated home and school! They are two very individual issues! Bravo.

A must read for parents of kids with adhd

A must read for parents of kids with adhd. It gives the kids perspective which is so telling

Must have!

This book has helped me understand and view life in my ADHD child's eyes. I found this very informative, and I was happy to learn that my child is not alone in her feelings about her situations.

Great intro to parenting a child with ADHD

My young daughter hasn’t been diagnosed yet but we suspect she has ADHD. This book was helpful in understanding the types of ADHD, getting diagnosed, etc. It has a lot of good parenting advice tailored to kids with ADHD.
