DNF. I picked it up because there aren't many books out there talking about ADHD and ODD together, and also the high rating, but PLEASE DON'T READ THIS BOOK. I stopped at "Instead of reprimanding A.D. for his wrong behavior, Miss T walked up to him and planted a kiss on his cheek. Now, this wasn’t because she approved of his mom’s seemingly helpless disposition, but it was her way of positively communicating love to a child who would have expected a rebuke or beating for lying to an adult’s face." (Kindle edition, p. 74). A.D. is the kid receiving therapy; Miss T is the therapist. NO PROFESSIONAL THERAPIST SHOULD DO THIS. This is prohibited in the professional ethical codes of pretty much the therapy field, especially when working with kids.

It also falsely stated that poor parenting and too much screen time can "contribute to" ADHD in children. These are not scientifically proven causes of ADHD. They may worsen attention and behavior problems, but they don't by themselves cause ADHD.

The author is "SpreadLife Publishing," and I couldn't dig up any info of the actual authors online, and it's unknown if the author(s) are professional. Cover says "therapist approved" - who are they?! I've read 21% of the book, but it feels like I was stuck in an endless chapter of Introduction; nothing worthwhile is mentioned except the basic info that ODD is often comorbid with ADHD, and ODD kids don't do well with punishments. There were also bible quotes at the beginning of each chapter, and some don't even connect to the main text.

IMO, this book should be removed from the market. It spreads false information and includes unprofessional/unethical therapy behaviors, while claiming to be a CBT therapy book. Please don't waste time and money on this book.

this book would be great for any parent

This book isn’t for just parents with kids that have adhd and/or ODD. This book gives great suggestions you can use with any kid and helps navigate how you can show each kid you care. I love how they mention giving the kids some choices and asking what they would like for rewards or to feel loved.

I bought this book because it got good reviews on Amazon and was the first book I’ve seen to discuss both diagnoses of ADHD and ODD. (I did learn that if ODD is left untreated, it could develop in to conduct disorder). Unfortunately, this book was not written by a medical
Professional, which I suppose is what I was looking for.
According to the reference page, the references or sources are a result of a Google search, not an official medical source.

Great insights to ways to help at different ages. I read the book because of past learning how to give boundaries to a ODD teen I babysat and seeing what insight might be good for my ASD teen. I liked some of the descriptions given for CPT therapy - I feel that in the future some of those types might be helpful for my child dealing with her trauma.

Pretty sure this book is AI. I barely made it through the beginning but kept wondering if a real person had written it. Can’t find one and the references are basically websites. I could’ve just read a Google AI answer. Really disappointed because I was looking for reliable information about my child’s dual diagnoses.
