Something to think about
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book has some really good information in it. While I don't agree with everything the author has written, it did make me think and encouraged me to try different approaches to helping my son. It also validated that at 15, he needs to be more responsible for his own choices, in spite of his constant "forgetting". This book gave me some positive encouragement that things will turn out OK.
The best ADD book I've ever read!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is the best ADD book I have every read. I recommend that EVERY parent of an ADD child read this book! Being a parent of an ADD child is very difficult on a good day, but this book gives you ways to cope, understand and be positive. Understanding the ADD mind was illusive to me before I read this book. Now I "GET IT". The relationship between my daughter and I has greatly improved, we communicate better, and I now see how hard it is for her and am able to help. Please read this very well written, simple yet comprehensive book. You wont regret it!
An Informative and Practical Book for Parents of ADD Teens
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Finally, a book that really explains ADD in teenagers and how it affects their abilites and lives.... As a mother of a 13 year old boy with ADHD, I was lost. We were able to help him manage his ADHD until puberty hit. Suddenly, it was a whole new ballgame. None of our discipline techniques worked anymore. After reading this book, I have a much better understanding of the disease and how it really impairs people in certain aspects of daily functioning. Some of the behviors I thought were defiant, I now realize are part of the ADHD make up. This book provides explainations of how ADD affects teens depending on their personality type and which behaviors are normal teen behaviors and which are related to the ADD. It gives practical advice on how to handle discipline issues, how to deal with schools to help them better educate your teen and how to help your teen learn to function within the limits of his/her ADD. I am so glad I found this book!
An excellent guide to parenting an ADD teen.

Recently two of my four children were diagnosed with ADD. I began reading everything I could on the subject. Often the information was confusing, or presented in such a technical way as to be of little help. Giving Your ADD Teen a Chance is presented clearly and with great warmth. I felt good about my children's life. Ms. Weiss gives helpful, relevant advice, loaded with common sense. I have recommended this book to anyone I can find, including several mental health professionals. If your child is diagnosed with ADD, whether or not they have reached their teenage years, this is a MUST read.
