Not what I expected

I was really expecting a more comprehensive book. It’s more of a long essay than anything else. There were also a few typos. (No, to the the British spellings of words....I’m not an idiot.) However, I enjoyed it overall and if she had a blog during the raising of her son I probably would have subscribed.

I really enjoyed this short little book about raising a child with ADHD. Despite a few grammatical errors and typos, the book is a very genuine and personal look at life for a parent dealing with a child who has ADHD. I did not like how the author used the term 'afflicted' with this disorder, but the book does share some strategies that may be helpful for other families. The title clearly reflects the content, this book is written from a mother's perspective, and the author offers a very open and honest look at what worked and what did not work as she was raising her son. I would recommend this book to all families who have a child with ADHD.

Decent ideas, but not new information - for me, at least.
