i purchased this book some time ago. i've loaned it to patients' parents many times over the years and folks have always reported the same thing - it is full of helpful advice to parents of children with attention disorders. it is written in an easy-to-read style. it is entertaining. the author offers practical advice for others struggling with a situation that is very difficult to manage. very good. well worth the purchase price, new or used.

Mrs. Isom did a wonderful job in keeping her book in a flowing informative manner; her sense of humour while taking action to help her child grow into an adult was very apparent. Thanks Marie for the help.

Marie has lived with an ADHD kid, and has not only survived, but thrives on helping other parents find resources and help for their kids! Her approach is lively, caring and flexible. Highly recommended by a clinical psychologist/neuropsychologist, who offers EEG biofeedback in her practice!

As a mother of three, all of Marie's approaches can work with any child. It gives great alternatives in helping your child get past sticking points. It also helps parents understand that each child is different and needs to be treated as such. I think it is great that someone finally gives parents a new out look on how to deal with such a special child.

I have been a psychotherapist for 20 years and find this book to be extrememly helpful to all parents of children with attention deficit disorders. Most books on the market written for parents are written by professionals - mostly for professionals. If you want a good, "when, where, who, what and why" of add/adhd, then this is the best book I've come across. I love Marie's overview of alternative practices which include: Holistic Medicine, homeopathy, hair analysis, bio-feeback/neuro-feedback, rapid eye technology, applied kinesiology, meditation, relaxation techniques, massage, acupuncture, acupressure, chiropractic adjustments, the use of color, art therapy, magnetic field therapy, music and toning.
This is not a one size fits all book - lumping all of our children into one category "needs drugs." This is a book from the heart, from a mother who deeply cares about her children and went to bat for them. The squeaky wheel does get the oil, and in my book as a psychotherapist, a good mother speaks up, and speaks up, and speaks up - until heard. I very much enjoyed Marie's refreshing humour - her care and concern for her family genuinely shine through.
