Book Reviews of Taking Charge of ADHD: The Complete, Authoritative Guide for Parents (Revised Edition)

Book Review: Getting the Facts Straight about ADHD
Summary: 4 Stars

Finally, a book that doesn't talk down to parents, but lays all the facts, research and myth busting information on the line. "Taking Charge of ADHD" helps parents get a solid understanding of ADHD before jumping into the strategies for success, something most other books skip. With a better understanding, parents are better able to approach their child with an individual plan for success. The behavior changing strategies work and the information on medication is research based and solid. The book does not, however, discuss ADHD with primarily inattentiveness in much detail, other than providing a description of it. But for hyperactivity issues this book is a comprehensive and successful resource for parents.
