      It was a very easy book to listen to. It had really good advice about the process of helping boys with ADHD be successful especially with different school options and community options.

      I won this book as an Early Reviewers book.I was quite excited to get it as my 6 year old grandson has been diagnosed with ADHD and will be entering elementary school this fall.This book is written in an easy style for parents to understand. It has both clinical information and practical approaches to address this issue in a school setting.I am very excited to pass this book on to my daughter. She is always seeking new answers to dealing with her son.A must read for parents, educators, and grandparents.

      This book was received from Library Thing Early Reviewers.I really enjoyed reading this book. The authors are parents of a boy with ADHD and reading it was like having conversations with a close friend, well paced, understanding, not so clinical, with good advice and ample information. The flow is gentle, helpful, and easy to read.

      This is an excellent resource for parents and teachers of boys with HDHD. I requested this book as both and found easily implementable ideas and good information. I donated my copy to our school resource room and have just recommended it to a couple of families during conference week.

      Rather than calling this a book, I would call it a resource because it provides such a thorough presentation of how to raise boys with ADHD. The book is well organized and comprehensive, covering each stage of a child’s development: Infancy & Preschool, Elementary Years, and Teenage Years. The book also has great resources, such as sample letters that can be given to family members or teachers who need to know about ADHD and how to interact with your child.

      As a mother, grandmother and teacher of boys with ADHD (probably a spouse too), I found this book extremely easy to read and chock full of good information and ideas. The topics follow a progression of ideas and present many helpful suggestions. Even though my boys are raised, I can still implement these suggestions adjusted for the present. Thank you for the opportunity to own this book. I recommen it to all who interact with ADHD males!

      I am thankful I won this book for review on this site recently. As a psychologist with postdoc speciality training with children and families, I was interested in this book to see if I would find the infomation valuable to recommend to parents of children with ADHD. I found this book well written, useful and packed with good information for parents. This book was an easy read and it gives pragmatic suggestions and advice in different stages of life. I will highly recommend this book to parents of children wiih ADHD with whom I work. I read this on the way home from LA and it was fun to digest. I hope everybody that reads it finds it as useful and rewarding as I did. Thank you LibraryThing and Prufrock Press Inc for this book.

      This was the fourth book I have read about ADHD and it's been the best. Both authors have boys with ADHD and have worked counseling children and their parents for many years. I appreciated the well organized chapters that ended with brief lists outlining the important points and action items. The authors provide more useful information than stories only adding personal experience when it served to provide an example.I was particularly impressed with the chapters Treatment Options for ADHD, Infancy and Preschool, The Elementary Years, The Teenage Years, and When More Support Is Needed. The authors stress that each boy with ADHD is unique and has strengths that will help him be successful as an adult. They even provide activities for parents to help identify those strengths and suggest strategies for helping your son with areas he finds challenging. Also, this was the first book about ADHD that devoted an entire chapter to Section 504 and IDE (special ed). The authors explained these options better and in much more depth than my son's school counselor did. I finished this book wishing I had this information three years ago. Highly recommend.
