A Bird's-Eye View of Life with ADD and ADHD: Advice from Young Survivors

By Alex Zeigler, Chris A. Zeigler Dendy, Chris A. Zeigler Dendy & Alex Zeigler

Book Overview

This book was written specifically for teenagers and children with input from twelve teens and a young adult who are living with ADHD. BEV offers factual information and practical strategies in words and examples that young people can easily understand and put into practice. Dr. Barkley, a leading ADHD expert, says "without exception, this is the best book I have reviewed to date for teens with ADHD & their parents. It is clear, concise, engaging, witty, entertaining, and at times appropriately irreverent, yet more importantly it is founded on the science of ADHD not just anecdotes." Because it is an interesting, accurate resource, one university professor is using this as a study guide for parents of children with ADHD.

Customer Reviews

Great book for teens & young adults

This book is easy to read, in down-to-earth language, and Question & Answer format. Presents ideas from a teenager's 1st person perspective. Covers a variety of relevant topics. Besides helping parents and teachers, I think high schoolers, college kids, and maybe junior high kids will find this book to be useful.

Just what we needed!

I ordered this book at the recommendation of the psychologist who tested our daughter for ADD. It is written for older children and teenagers who have ADD or ADHD. My daughter, age 17, found it interesting. It helped her know that she was not the only one with this condition and gave her many tips for coping with life. Although I found much of it redundant, the book helped me see ADD from the perspective of a teenager.

A Must for parents and educators

This book is a must for parents of ADHD children as well as educators. As both a parent of an ADHD child and a teacher, I found this book enlightening as well as practical. It is a very easy read, in fact, I read it in two days. It is easy to understand and is written in layman terms not scientific/medical jargon. It explains so many aspects ADHD is language that parents can understand and offers some sensible solutions to everyday problems. This book has become by ADHD bible.

Met All Expectations

I bought this book on the advice of my son's psychologist and it was worth every penny. I am also a special ed teacher and will recommend it to every teacher I know.
