My only complaint (and reason I didn't give 5 stars is that I feel that they text size (and perhaps font type) should have been a little larger being that kids are more apt to read a larger font than adults read.
The book starts with an explanation of what ADHD is and what it means, all written in a language that kids really understand. It is a very positive explanation of ADHD so kids don't feel like they are dumb or there is something bad about this.
It also goes into the types of ADHD with some characteristics of each type and a cute nickname for each type. I had fun talking through them with my son- I compared it to the different houses of Harry Potter- which house is he in?
We then started into the activities which included a checklist of ADHD attributes. It got my son to really open up to me and talk through some of the difficulties that he goes through and also feel like he is not alone in this. Some of the difficulties he was having made him feel like a failure. Now he knows that millions of kids have this and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
Normally, my conversations with my 10 year old are just about how his day was and we cover really surface level topics. This book has enabled me to dig down deeper with my child to have more meaningful conversations and bond with him.
I highly recommend this book, in fact I can't recommend it enough. If you have a child with ADHD, buy this book!
Must get!!!!!!!
My favorite part is that the ADHD information and activities are presented in a positive way that helps build a child's self-image. This was very important to us with just learning of the diagnosis. My child has been so hard on himself. I am grateful for the uplifting, inspirational tone throughout the entire book. THANK YOU!
Although I haven’t started it with my 8 year old yet, it’s already given me reminders on beneficial talking points during difficult times.
It’s a lovely book. Don’t think twice - just get it.
(And remember: don’t beat yourself or your child up if you don’t finish it!)
We finished this book in just a few days! She could not put it down, we loved it!
I was a little concerned that it was too advanced for my child when we first started it. Some of the paragraphs are lengthy and its hard enough to hold an ADHD child's attention. But I was wrong. While she may skim through a longer paragraph here and there, I remind her it's important to get all the information so we can better understand. She hesitates then goes back and reads it or allows me to read it aloud. She is really benefiting from this book! She looks forward to doing it every night in her bed with me. And its not too advanced for her. (She is 8.) We are flying through it! Its really that interesting to her.
