If you have a child diagnoised bipolar you MUST own this book. so helpful !! If you can only afford to buy 1 book, this is it ! Many libraries have copies on the shelves, but be advised, you will want to hilight and make notes on almost every page :-)

I never realized how much time I devoted to my son until I read this book. I realized his needs could not be my life focus. And as important as they may be, I need balance in my life.

Another MUST HAVE !!! It is well worth the $20 !!! Describes in detail the seizure-like rages & provides PRACTICAL methods of dealing with. Explains well the overlap between BP & ADHD & Aspergers .

Contains excellent positve reinforcement ideas ! Tips on house rules , simplifying life, & drawing family closer.

Encouragement from mother's with ADD, Down Syndrome, Autistic, and other special needs children. Very comforting book that made me feel understood in the midst of a very lonely journey.

Has tips for dealing with tantrums, transitions, and trouble spots-including, night wakings, mealtimes, getting dressed, socialization, etc.

Very helpful for an asperger's child/adult struggling with sensory defensiveness.

helped me to understand my son better

Some interesting tests to use with your ADD child. I could not believe the large words my son would be able to spell using different colored ink on index cards.

A wonderful resource to work on problems with anger control, teamwork, self-esteem, coping skills, etc. My favorites are the cup-building tower game and the unfair game. Works best with at least 6 participants.
