Insightful

As an adult, I was diagnosed with ADHD in my workplace. My explosive behavior initially embraced as aggressive soon became a deterrent. It didn't take long to realize my child suffered from the same challenges. This book has not only helped me inwardly, but also how to present the positive aspects of this disability. I have been able to help build a more structured environment for him thanks to the advice offered by this book. Thank you, Mr. Bass

A Surface-Level Overview That Misses the Mark

Richard Bass’ A Beginner’s Guide on Parenting Children with ADHD offers a decent starting point for those unfamiliar with ADHD, but unfortunately it falls short in delivering any real depth or practical guidance. While the book provides a brief overview and touches on some of the challenges parents may face, it does not go much further than that.

What disappointed me most was how generic the content felt. There are very few actionable strategies or fresh ideas that would actually support a parent dealing with the day-to-day realities of raising a child with ADHD. For a guide that is meant to help beginners, I expected more step-by-step approaches or real-life examples.

The writing itself could also use a thorough review. There is a lot of repetition throughout the chapters, which made it feel more padded than insightful. Editing issues disrupted the flow as well, making the need for another round of revision quite clear.

Overall, this book might be useful if you are just starting your research and want a very high-level summary. But if you are looking for practical tools, deeper advice, or a stronger understanding, you will likely need to look elsewhere.

a good basic overview

Could be a little more detailed with how to apply principles. However, it helped me to have a basic understanding of ADHD and an outline of ideas on what’s available and strategies for ADHD.

Very helpful

[Daniel · Rating 2 out of 5]

Focuses on the identification of issues and does not outline strategies to help the parents / children very well. There are lots of editing issues as well.

A bit repetitive but a good useful book.
