This book helps teachers and parents structure learning time for better results. Not all children learn through the same methods, and for some children, a typical classroom is utterly frustrating and incomprehensible. Have you ever taught a small child how to walk? Did you talk them through it, delivering lectures and demonstrations, or did you hold their hand till they got their balance, then let them stumble from spot to spot until they learned? Does your child walk fairly well? Great. Now think back... when your child fell or stumbled, did you become alarmed at the setback and take them to the doctor, or did you encourage them to try again? Most kids learn very well by doing. They may learn a lot less well from lectures. Classrooms, sadly, are mostly teacher talk, student listen environments. This book gives strategies for structuring lessons so that they involve physical motion, hands-on practice, and creative tasks. These strategies are useful not only for ADD/ADHD kids, but for MOST kids. We live in a country where normal kid behavior is seen as a pathology. ***important: I believe ADD/ADHD is a real neurological phenomenon.*** And, when 20% or more of your boys are tagged with the ADD/ADHD label, it becomes meaningless. For example, a characteristic of ADD/ADHD is distractibility... but so is over focusing and being undistractable. So is spacing out and daydreaming. A high activity level is characteristic... but so is lethargic behavior or slow work completion. The first chapter of this book points out these contradictions and suggests dealing with kids on a kid-by-kid basis, communicating with parents, and offering a variety of learning strategies (the rest of the book is a help for that.) It provides excellent advice and ideas. Still, my problem with the book is that is addresses ADD/ADHD from a perspective that classroom learning is normal, and children who don't do well in classrooms need intervention. In my view, classroom learning is unnatural, often stressful, and a sub-optimal system for teaching kids. My conclusion is that the kids who need help are probably as normal as the kids who sit still and raise their hands. Anyway, I got it because I teach 3 year olds Sunday school, and so many moms already (at age 3!) tag their kids as having ADD. So I read up on it to learn how to reach a wide variety of kids.
