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

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
