My son is in fourth grade and has ADHD. This is a great book! Very understandable for kids. It doesn't "talk down" to them either. It gives a lot of practical tips on ways kids can handle their ADHD. I would highly recommend it as there aren't very many books out there to help kids with ADHD improve their social skills.

I have ADD and it cant focus in school unless i am in P.E. because I am going and going and not sittting on a chair. I am incredably bright but I cant sit still. And our standerdize tests are coming and sitting in a chair and write an essay or think about math wont be easy. I am reading and it will help me with these tips.

I didn't really care for this book, nor did my son. Neither of us was really impressed with it and it didn't give us any ideas to try to help with distraction.

My 11 year old son, who never reads on his own, actually spent 20 minutes reading this book when it arrived. Need I say more?
