Customer Reviews

a really great Q and A

This book answered a lot of questions I didn't think to or have the courage to or get the time to ask my doctor. In particular, I learned a lot about medications. I feel much more knowledgeable and when it comes to my child, what could be more important?

parent friendly

helpful and informative book for parents who have children with ADHD. Easy to read with not a lot of therapeutic jargon.

A MUST-HAVE Resource for Parents and Educators

A must-have resource for parents and educators of children with ADHD. I have been an educator for over ten years, and have been exposed to countless books and resources about ADHD. Most of them, I have found, either bore you with excessive neuropsychological jargon, shower you with unpractical strategies, or both. I have yet to read a book about ADHD that I would recommend to parents and colleagues. Until now, that is! I was delighted to read "100 Questions & Answers About Your Child's Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder." Dr. Nass and Dr. Leventhal have penned an informative, well-written book that is both comprehensive and concise. The format is extremely reader-friendly, and makes it possible, with a straightforward table of contents and complete index, to return to the book for a quick reference. The authors left no stone unturned in their efforts to produce a thoroughly researched, carefully presented resource that is replete with current findings and practical (yes, practical!) strategies to help children with ADHD improve their academic performance. I was particularly impressed with the "Medication and ADHD" section; Dr. Nass and Dr. Leventhal provide more than enough information to help parents make informed decisions about ADHD medications. I HIGHLY recommend this book! My grade: 100 percent for "100 Questions and Answers About Your Child's ADHD."

Ready Reference Guide to ADHD

This book is excellent. Its format is vastly different from a thick textbook. Important points are highlighted. You can surf the index and read a Q and A. You can easily skip those Q & As that are not germane to your interests.The book is fact oriented with no longwinded technical discussions.One of the co-authors is a practicing neurologist which is not the norm for authors of such books (no offense to PhDs). I consider this book the most authoritative in ADHD literature. It's my best find this year. jw
