Great for teachers!
This book is written with 3rd and 4th grade classes in mind as the audience. I am using it with a third grade class. We are doing 1 lesson per week. It is GREAT! The activities are very engaging and really drive the point home. Kids can relate to the idea of using a remote control, so it is motivating for them to think of using it on themselves. The cues are great ideas for teachers to use ...

Woodbine House, 2006
The best book on ADHD I've ever bought.
This book is essential for parents of a kid with ADHD. It's like an owner's manual for our kids! If I could have had a book like this in the early days of my son's diagnosis, I might not have made so many mistakes with him. It could easily replace 5 or 6 other books I've bought about kids with ADHD. The description of typical ADHD problems could have his name at the top - he OWNS all of them! ...
