Three points of view-parent's, therapist's, and child's-make this the most practical guide on the market for raising a child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or other behavioral issues.

Traditional parenting and discipline books aren't effective for parents who are dealing with kids with ADHD, OCD, depression or other disorders. They need a guide that will help them with the unique discipline and organization challenges kids with these issues have. When getting up, going to school, completing homework, helping with chores, and getting to bed all become battlegrounds, the step-by-step proven techniques presented here will help parents achieve peace in their households. It will teach parents how to:

* Engage in proactive, not reactive, parenting
* Discipline consistently and effectively
* Deal with stalling, forgetting, overreacting, and other everyday behavior problems
* Work with a child's teachers, and more.

Behavioral tips worked great with my 3 1/2 year old!

Reviewed in the United States on 29 April 2015

Verified Purchase

We have a very strong willed daughter who can be quite defiant and had many days with temper tantrums especially when turning off the TV or tablet for bedtime. Getting her to brush, comb her hair, change her clothes, eat a meal, pick up toys, use the potty, or let us change her diaper ( I know she's getting a little old for diapers..) could also turn into a disaster pretty easily. As a Psychiatry Resident I turned to searching textbooks and journal publications for ideas of how to handle behavioral issues with my daughter, but didn't find the guidance I was looking for. Then a couple of days ago I picked up this book up at a Barnes and Noble and could not put it down. The scenarios with the little boy for bedtime and morning describe a typical scene with my 3 1/2 year old!
The ideas of token economy and modeling finally clicked. We decided no TV (including watching on phones, or tablets!) after 8:30 and that meant no TV for mom and dad either. We came up with a system using Chuck e Cheese tokens. We implemented both last night and had immediate results! My daughter did whine for TV, but we held firm and offered puzzles, toys and other games until she became tired. We then took out the tokens and she got so excited she ran to the bathroom and brushed her teeth, then got changed and in bed in less than 10 minutes! She got 3 tokens last night for brushing, changing, and getting in bed on time.
She got another 3 for getting brushed and dressed this morning, which happened faster than ever. We had to take away 2 for not listening when it was time to change her poopy diaper and calling her dad stupid. But she got one back after she let me change her. She actually came up to me and said "I want to change my diaper now." We decided 10 tokens this week equals a trip to Chuck e cheese :-) , she's at 5 tokens so far. We thought getting the reward early would have a more powerful positive reinforcement.

Great book!!

Reviewed in the United States on 7 March 2018

Love this book!!! Our son was diagnosed about 3 years ago and is now 9 years old- I would recommend this book to any parent with an ADHD child. There are a lot of things that we’ve changed in our own routine simply because of this book. It also helped me understand more of what’s going on in his head and how I should be responding to him when he’s struggling.

Great content. Already working with ADHD Dad and Son

Reviewed in the United States on 19 June 2022

Some of the references are outdated (game boy, phone line in room, etc.) but the strategies and content are great and actually work. Coming from an ADHD Dad and 7yo son.

Outdated, do more research and think for yourself. Each child is unique💓

Reviewed in the United States on 16 July 2018

Ordered this for a family member, read parts not that impressed. Would like to know how the child turned out as an adult. Worked in Elementary schools for years, as a loving yet disciplinary type of parent felt the Mother was way over the top with expectations of her young son. I do agree with having your child tested outside of the system. They quickly label and try to teach all children the same way, simply wrong.
