I didn’t enjoy this book quite as much as Beyond Ritalin: Facts about Medication and Other Strategies for Helping Children, Adolescents, and Adults with Attention Deficit Disor. It seemed a little less clear and smooth, so it wasn’t as much fun to read. But it was still easy to understand and had some really good information. This is what I have been looking for; specific exercises to help the problem behaviors associated with ADHD.

These are the chapter titles for that part of the book:

Controlling Activity Level
Impulse Control Training
Beating Distractions
Stretching Attention Span
Following Rules
Controlling Aggression

I’m not sure I like the point motivation system, but I understand that the child must be motivated to make these behavior changes. I plan on checking this one out again and trying out some of the suggestions.
