Product Description

The chapters of the book are organized by strengths that can be developed in a child. There is a short discussion of the importance of each strength, and then the book offers simple activities that parents do with their child-often in just a few minutes-to help develop them. Throughout the book strikes a positive note, stressing things that parents can do themselves to encourage and support their child rather than things they should discourage or avoid.

Great For Parents and Practioners
A great book for excellent strategies to work with and support students who are distractible in school, whether diagnosed with ADHD or not. I would highly encourage parents to read it and try its suggestions before turning to meds.

Wonderful!
Lara is a wonderful person who spends her life as an advocate for children with ADD ADHD. I absolutely love her books and I recommend them to all parents with children who have ADD or ADHD. The Gift of ADHD Activity Book is one of the most important books available for parents with ADHD children.
