| Professional Review: |
| Kids with ADHD need to be loved and shown how to become successful adults. Unfortunately, their lack of attention and restlessness often get in the way. Parents of these kids try so hard to stay connected and remain patient in the face of daily frustration. However, it is an incredible challenge to remain positive and involved when your child does not respond to the kinds of strategies that work for other children. Without guidance and systematic treatment, these bright, inquisitive children are unlikely to graduate from high school, are more prone to use illegal drugs, and struggle to maintain employment as adults. Parenting Children with ADHD: Lessons That Medicine Cannot Teach gives parents a framework for building a successful parenting program at home. Drawing from his experiences in evaluating and treating thousands of children and teens with ADHD, Vincent Monastra presents a series of ten lessons that are essential for promoting the success of kids with ADHD. In simple language, Monastra explains the causes of ADHD and how nutrition, medication and certain therapeutic procedures can improve attention, concentration, and behavioral control. Recognizing the importance of school success, Monastra also reviews the educational rights of children with ADHD and outlines a process for working with school districts to get your child the help they need. Beyond this foundation, Monastra describes non-confrontational ways to teach your child essential life skills like organization, problem-solving, and emotional control. Through guiding principles like "Work for Play" and "Time Stands Still", Monastra ends the struggle for control and helps children learn that in life you need to "earn your play" and apologise and "make amends" when you do something that hurts another person (or makes their life more difficult). |

 Written on January 27, 2008 Summary: A must read for parents of ADHD child I am only half-way through this book and it is great! It is the first book I have read on the subject, and it so reassuring to know that everything our family has gone through with our daughter (who has ADHD) is nearly exactly how it is described in the book. I can't wait to finish the book to get more tips on helping our daughter work on her issues. I also would like every Pediatrician out there to read this book and realize that ADHD is a REAL brain disorder, and that ADHD children need medication AND good parenting. Written on December 21, 2007 Summary: good information book! this book is a must have,it's helped me with some things that i had no answer for.It's so nice also to know that what i deal with everyday is real,sometimes i forget that it's here and i have to deal with it day by day. Written on November 5, 2007 Summary: Definitely in the top 5 must reads for parents of ADHD children Like many of you, I've scoured the net for any morsels of information which could be of help in understanding and helping my ADHD child. This book has not only provided me with further insight, above and beyond the ABC's of ADHD, but it has become one of my primary resource books. I find myself returning to the chapter about medication in order to better understand what my own doctor has expained to me verbally. I go back to the chapter on diet to make sure we haven't fallen away from the very practical recommendations there. And I often go back to the different tips to help control emotions, etc. But what has pushed me to write this review is the sheer number of times I have quoted Dr. Monastra, to my son's teachers, to his Doctor, to our family members.... clearly this book has left a long lasting impression on me as a parent (my son's "case worker"). If Dr. Monastra were to charge royalties for the number of times I have said "... and if he were blind, would we ask him to just try harder to see... ", I'd owe him a lot more than I paid for this book! Yes, I can definitely recommend this book as it is practical, easy to read, and contains information/insights you will not likely find elsewhere. Written on November 3, 2007 Summary: Great book with lots of info. I have read a lot of books on ADHD and I really like this one. It's very easy to understand. Some of these other books use big words, I prefer the simple terms like they use in this book. If you are a parent of a child with ADHD and feel lost or wondering what to do or where to go, read this book. There are lots of times I wonder if I am doing the right thing. Meds, no meds... what to do? This book talks about how certain medications work on children. It also has a lot of great info. on some of the types of testing you can have done. If you don't want to buy it or aren't sure check it out at a library. I just wish I could get some teachers to read this and understand our children. This books explains why kids with ADHD do the things they do. Also, he talks about making sure your children get protein at breakfast so they will do better through out the day. This is what you are supposed to to with kids, but ADHD kids especially. We need to make sure they are getting enough protein.. especially in the morning. Written on October 5, 2007 Summary: New methods in this book work better than traditional ones I am a grandparent of a 5 year old boy, diagnosed with ADHD at age 4. I have read several books on the subject, plus reseaching ADHD on line. If you employ the same methods by which you were raised, not having ADHD, or the methods your parents used to raise you, you are missing the target by a mile. ADHD children are different in many ways and you must learn how and what to do for them as individuals. They are precious little people with vast potential for love and success in life. Only by you learning how to help them manage their lives, in a loving caring manner can you help them. This book offers proven methods to help the child at home and in school and in life. I do recommend this book. You also need to read other books on the subject and try to find a CHAD group or other support group for yourself because you are not alone in your struggle to save your child and family. I also recommend ADDitude Magazine as well as, Making the System work for Your Child and The Gift of ADHD, all from Amazon.com. It takes a village to raise a child. Good luck. |
