Book Description

This book discusses typical troubling behaviours, provides perspectives for parents of diagnosed teens, and assists other parents in determining whether ADD is affecting their child. Hallmark characteristics of the disorder and methods for overcoming these difficulties are described. Throughout are the voices of teens, parents, educators and professionals who describe the peaks and valleys of life with ADD, providing insight, hope, support, and advice for successfully navigating the teenage years.

From the Publisher

A review... "Parents and teachers of teenagers frequently lament the lack of a guide for answering myriad questions posed by teenagers' typical challenges of struggle for control and confusion with emerging identity. Add to these challenges difficulty focusing attention, resisting impulses, or remaining still, and you will understand the necessity of a manual for how to live and work with teens with ADD.

This comprehensive book offers all the basic information necessary to understand the condition, get help, and provide appropriate guidance for adolescents with ADD. Chapters include definitions, diagnosis, medical treatment, and legal rights. Discussions regarding family dynamics, advocacy roles, and options for postschool life are insightful. With sensitivity and understanding, the author approaches several essential topics: self-esteem, troubled interpersonal relationships, academic failure, disorganization, substance abuse, and driving problems.

Teenagers with ADD has something for everyone associated with this population. It is alive with quotes and photographs. The final chapter, Words of Wisdom from the Kids, would be excellent reading for teenagers in helping them express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Figures and tables summarize major points and could be used by parents and speakers for presentations to a wide variety of audiences. Sample forms could be duplicated or adapted to meet a range of home and school needs." --Intervention in School and Clinic, September 1996

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Place to find answers, Mar 1 2004
By 
Cecily Hayward (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teenagers with ADD: A Parents' Guide (Paperback)
This book was so helpful to me! My 13-year-old son was just diagnosed with ADD and it was a God send. It has so many great suggestions, stories and advice. I stayed up all night reading it! It was like an autobiogrpahy of my son for the past few years. He was especially relieved to figure out what was wrong and read the other kid's experiences.
It was also helpful for me on how to advise my son's teachers of special care that he needs. The appendix for teachers in the back is an excellent tool to give to teachers so they can develop a good basic understanding of the condition.
The book doesn't have much on the medication Adderal which was what our doctor recommended. The information on accompanying sleep disturbances was excellent - our doctor didn't even know about it.
