I cried reading this book. My 7yo son has been struggling with
ADHD, and like many parents, I tried everything. Oils, vitamins,
diet changes, act. I have never been someone who likes giving
medicine to my children, but after reading this book, I finally
took him in to see a specialist. He was given medication, and
doubled his reading and math scores in the first 2 weeks. They no
longer want to put him in special ed, or hold him back.
I will admit that it wasn't just about not wanting to put him on
meds. It was the stigma of parents that do. "Oh it's so easy to
just drug your kids" or "It's lazy parenting." - but after reading
this book, and the look on my son's face when he identified with
it, I finally got him the help he needed.
Thank you! This book was such a blessing. I now understand how he
feels, and can be a better parent.Tiara Smith
I love this delightful, wonderful book - which is filled with heart
and humor. This is a "must" in the homes of families who have young
children with ADHD.Sandra F. Rief, M.A.
