This book is an absolute gem!,
By
This review is from: Understanding Girls with Ad/HD (Paperback)
What does the parent of an AD/HD child do once a diagnosis has been rendered? In my experience you pick up and devour every book that you can get your hands on. However, if your AD/HD child happens to be a girl, you will encounter far more boys that share that diagnosis and the books that you read follow that gender slant. This book seeks to explain how that bias has evolved. It goes into great detail to give the reader an understanding of how social, cultural and behavioral differences have historically kept diagnosis of AD/HD in girls at bay. In my opinion it is an essential guide to helping parents/family/friends and neighbors to understand and recognize the (sometimes less obvious) symptoms of AD/HD in the female population and to manage the unique issues that come along for the ride.

Help with understanding your daughter and her ADHD,
By Elizabeth Redman (Maple Grove, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding Girls with Ad/HD (Paperback)
This is really a great book directed at the issues surrounding girls. Most books are written from research done with boys, and girls do have different concerns and show different signs of ADHD. For instance, they seem to be moodier, and more easily brought to tears. (At least this is true in my household between my son and daughter who both unfortunately have ADHD). This book addresses how to answer some of our questions that I have not found elsewhere. I think this book is a must for families who have girls with this disorder. It also has pointers to teachers. I recommend it.

This review is from: Understanding Girls with Ad/HD (Paperback)
I have worked with special need children for almost 25 years. This book is groundbreaking, easy to read, practicle and will help parents stratagize better in dealing with their ADHD daughters. It will also be of great use to professionals working with these children. It shows clearly the differences for ADHD girls. Buy it right away, don't wait for this special knowledge that can help your child.
