Publisher's summary

ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disease) is a common emotional and behavioral disorder that can disrupt a child's academic and social functioning. ADHD is characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and motor activity that are developmentally inappropriate. Within an educational setting, children with attention problems form a unique group with a wide range of demands. Although there are various issues linked with children who have been diagnosed with ADHD, many parents and educators are concerned about social skill impairments.

The most unpleasant element of ADHD-related deficits is not being accepted by one's peer group, feeling separated, strange, unlikeable, and alone, and these experiences have long-term consequences. It's crucial to maintain positive relationships with people. Though children with ADHD really want to make friends and be accepted by their peers, they frequently lack the skills to do so. The good news is that you can assist your child in developing these social abilities and skills.

Great for a 101 lit review.

1. The author is overly devoted to the idea that this is a disorder/disability. While I am very aware that having a variable attention trait is a burden in the context of our square and exasperating society, I feel that focusing on the Disorder/Disease aspect is merely adding to the negativity. If you are writing this to help us parents, and individuals who are well and truly diagnosed with a difference in attention, please be positive! It is hard enough dealing with these schools and friends and doctors without turning to books that literally call this a disease. Reframe please! Very old fashioned!

2. Where were the interventions to help me understand how to get a kid to think before he acts? How did I just listen, entirely focused on this book, for 45 minutes, and still have no idea how to get a get to think before he acts. I am thoroughly informed (AGAIN) of how intensely important it is, and how much it will affect the kid's life. Perhaps I just don't need another Lit Review on this. I am seeking direct intervention skills and advice.

3. Reading is not great. Weird pauses make me think I have a technology issue, over an over. And mispronunciations?!
