DESCRIPTION:
Excellent resource for parents of teens with ADHD or ADD As a clinical psychologist I regard this as one of the best resources for parents of teens. This helps parents to look at the teen with ADHD as having some executive skills impairments that need remediation and understanding. Parents also rate their own executive skills and can try to be a better fit in parenting these adolescents. There are many constructive suggestions in this book and I highly recommend it.. "Excellent look at the unusual child" according to ChefCVG. I have a kid who's gifted & in gifted classes. Understands high level concepts, but can't figure out how to organize his locker or manage to turn in his homework - even though he's completed it. It's been bandied about maybe he has autism or ADD, but those didn't fit. This book describes him to a T. Not having the frontal lobe of his brain maturing at the same rate as his peers is a simple, logical explanation & the ensuing ways to deal are enlightening & helpful. This book was a god-send. It was suggested by his gifted teacher after she spent time with him.. bootsie said This is a bit advanced for the average teenager.. This is a bit advanced for the average teenager. Whom I bought it for. So I read it on occasion and have found the info to be helpful, but it's not the kind of book I'd read front to cover
