Mom of ADD child

This book was the most comprehensive and up to date one I've found. As a physician myself, I appreciate the scientific references and clinical advice.

A must-have in your quest to help your ADHD child

Great book giving a thorough overview and explanation on ADHD in school-going children, the treatments, drugs used and addressing any concerns. Every parent of an ADHD child should own this book! (And every clinician treating them!)

Struggling with the narration

The doom and gloom narration is hard to handle. I like the information but it’s very 1 sided.

A+

perfect book for you I like it a. lot a.s I am very picky a my books! but I need adult. ADHD info....

Barkley is an ADHD guru. book is dry but good.

The beginning is pretty bleak and depressing if you have a child with ADHD. the second half goes into behavior treatment parents can take on so the tone of the book starts to improve. our psychiatrist mentioned that Barkley isn't strength based so you'll see more punitive and strict methods.
