Summary
AD/HD Success! is a hands-on, comprehensive resource for parents, children and teens, designed to boost self-esteem by positively and enthusiastically reinforcing what kids do right naturally in everyday life. Once self-esteem has been developed and maintained, children will focus on their interests and become aware of their untapped strengths—and this can be used as a baseline for growth.
This practical workbook is full of non-technical questions, prompts, strategies, and gentle assessments that include some parent involvement. It features 52 reproducible diary pages, parent and child questionnaires, self-esteem logs and scales, an AD/HD overview, and much more. Parents will find valuable information, guidance, and insights that will enhance communication for the whole family. In addition, school-based professionals will find guidance and applicable assignments for assisting students who are dealing with AD/HD.
Reviews
"An excellent and practical workbook developed out of years of experience and caring. I highly recommend this workbook."

"Finally, a book FOR the kids! One that they can really use to boost their self-esteem, along with good information for their parents to help them understand also. It is just like having your own portable support group -- take it with you, and read and write when you feel as though [you] need an ego boost. An easy-to-read book for everyone: parents, teachers, students -- it goes a long way in advocating understanding of ADHD -- what it is, and what it is NOT!!!!"
