This book is actually funny. It hits on the aspects of ADHD perfectly, right down to the angelic little sister who can do no wrong. There are some words in the book I wish were not there, like stupid and crazy. I bought it to read to my 5 year old who is ADHD, but with no learning disablities...yet. So I figure we will skip the part on learning disablilities, and being given less homework from the rest of the class. Use it for a tool to help explain what we are doing as a family to address the ADHD, and help him control his behavior. Read it first, cut out what you don't think applies or needs to be heard by your child. The book is mostly informative, and really funny.
I bought this book for my 6-year-old nephew and will read it to him when he comes to live with us soon. I can't wait, because it is so simply written and straightforward, I'm sure it will help him understand what we have not been able to tell him about his ADHD condition. It is entertaining, and because it is told in a kid's point of view, it shows ADHD with concerns that kids would have that adults might not have even thought of. I recommend it if you're trying to find just the right way of reaching your child or student!
Dr. Michael Gordon has indeed captured the heartfelt pain, hopes and challenges of an ADHD child and his family. The simple suggestions in the video are not only invaluable for immediate family action, but also give teachers ideas on working with these creative ADHD children. A must for ALL to see. I've introduced this book/video to hundreds of parents and teachers.
This is a good book which speaks to a child in helping them understand that they are not the only ones with these issues. A lot of times, books speak "louder" than parents. :)
