Parenting Children With ADHD: 10 Lessons That Medicine Cannot Teach (APA LifeTools Series)

Haven't read the whole book but I read over it

If you have a kiddo with ADHD this is a fantastic resource for you! Wealth of information that can help you to understand and navigate the process of helping your child succeed.

This book has been a godsend and Dr. Monastra writes in a very easy to understand, yet specific way. I was so impressed that I scheduled an appointment for my son to meet with Dr. Monastra and get evaluated (we live in FL and flew to seeDr. Monastra in NY). Invaluable information - I am now on track to getting my child the help he needs in school. I have followed Dr. Monastra's advice on diet and we are definitely seeing very positive results.

BEST ADHD BOOK I HAVE EVER READ!!! I highly recommend this book. This book is the best thing that has happened to me as a parent. I took my daughter to weekly therapy sessions for over a year and this book basically addressed all the issues that the therapist couldn't even pinpoint or help with. As a parent, I felt I needed to educate myself better so I could help my daughter, and this is the best tool I've found. It will give you so many options and lead you in the right direction even if you don't want to follow it exactly.

It has been hard finding books that are without a skew or viewpoint and help sort out real issues. This is a must read for what to do WITH a child on medicine because the medicine is not a CURE and you need to understand how to set things up for success. This recently published book has very specific information on why one medication might work over another, what the effects of eating protiens at different times of the day are and more. These help you make decisions that can be implemented with children for concrete results on a day by day basis.

How many books can one read on parenting a kids with ADHD?! well we have read them all! as parents with different views on how to deal with an ADHD child, this book was a perfect compromise! We both liked the simple to apply strategies, and NOT having the reward system for behaviors that are expected! has been helpful as the ADHD child's issues seem to change every year!

Life changing book!! Very well written and actually has applicable, every day, real life scenarios and tells a floundering parent what to say and do in the heat of the moment. Gentle consistent discipline with the extra stuff kids with ADHD need thrown in the mix. Great catch thoughts/phrases, paradigm shifters. I'm so glad I bought this book!

This is the best book on ADHD that I have ever read--easy to understand, down-to-earth style, and practical. I like the holistic approach to treatment including the use of neurofeedback to fine-tune diagnosis and medication approach. Would recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand better what ADHD is, and what it is not. . .

a fantastic and easy to read (parent friendly) book. Very helpful

I really enjoyed the ideas presented in this book; however, I was surprised by the number of grammatical and spelling errors.

Very informative and eye opening read. It has really helped us to understand what our daughter is going through and more important, how to help.
