From the Author:
I have a severe case of ADHD and because of it I had a miserable childhood, adolescence and college years. It took me 12 long, long years to graduate from college. I would sit with my books in front of me for days and literally years and just couldn't learn. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't learn. When I finally graduated from college, I had a 2.2 grade point average on a 4.0 system, barely above a C.
When I applied for Graduate Schools they didn't want to take me because they thought I couldn't do the work. I graduated from college in 1968 and back then, no one knew about ADHD. As a matter of fact, the IQ test that were given to me said I could do well, so when I couldn't learn, I felt like a failure.
I knew there was something wrong with me because I just couldn't get it. I thought it was my fault. I knew I had problems, I didn't know what they were, and I felt deep down there was something really, really wrong with me. I developed a devastatingly poor self-esteem.
I spent a good part of my life feeling about two inches tall.
My parents were always criticizing me. Why can't you graduate college? Why can't you do this, why can't you do that?
If I would ask you, the reader, to please stand up, flap your arms and fly, physiologically, you can't do it. People with ADHD have an extremely hard time learning, focusing, concentrating and paying
attention in school.
I wrote this book to give the parents of ADHD children ways to get their child to behave at home and learn in school. The methods in the book work; I know, I am an example. Every child wants to do well, get approval from his parents and do well in school. Because of the nature of the ADHD child, it is very hard.
This book was written from my heart to your heart so your ADHD child can grow up to be successful and with good self-esteem.
The material that tells parents specifically an in detail what to do to get their kids to behave at home was developed as a result of doing over 20 years of psychotherapy with families and children and teens of ADHD. I developed this never-published-before method of specifically telling families what to do to get their kid to behave as a result of doing counseling and therapy with hundreds and hundreds of families of children and teens with ADHD. This material has never been published before and I am proud to offer it to parents. Again and again parents tell me when they use our methods consistently, they see dramatic improvements in the child and family life. There isn't any greater blessing I know than helping an ADHD child behave at home and learn at school. This book can dramatically change your child's life and your family's life.
