Editorial Reviews:
|
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.

Summary: A Phenomenal Book by a Phenomenal Writer
Comment: I bought this book after seeing Dr. Honos-Webb speak on a different topic (parenting). She spoke with such wisdom and insight, and addressed some of the most important questions and fears regarding parenting today -- and she did it in such a simple way. I am a lifelong lover of learning and I can honestly say that I have never seen a speaker come at a topic so directly yet so intimately. It was a life-changing talk.
It made me want to hear more of Honos-Webb's take on the world - so much more that I went home and ordered all of her books (which is a lot to say for a single mother watching every dime!): The Gift of Adult ADD: How to Transform Your Challenges & Build on Your Strengths, The Gift Of ADHD: How To Transform Your Child's Problems Into Strengths, Listening to Depression: How Understanding Your Pain Can Heal Your Life as well as this one.
Her books are more than I had hoped for. Honos-Webb approaches depression, ADD and ADHD in a uniquely positive way. There are new insights and food for thought on every page. She is also a wonderful writer. I am a writer and an editor myself and I was continually impressed with not only the beauty of the ideas she expresses but the beauty of her words as well.
Honos-Webb sheds extraordinary light on these topics. Her books should be required reading for everyone who cares about the human mind.
PS And if you ever get a chance to see her speak, seize the opportunity. This woman should have her own TV show! (Could she be the next Oprah????? We can only hope.)

Summary: Very helpful and insightful
Comment: This book was a surprise. I hadn't read the one that came before it "the gift of ADHD" but I will now. The author gently encourages compassion and understanding of these difficult to raise children. Many of the "games" are informal ways to link with your kid by working their strengths. The first part of the book suggests you make a list of what is right with your kid. When I did this I realized just how fascinating he really is. I am starting to turn around my focus from problem oriented to strength oriented. Quite a change.
The activities are not for just one age group. The author discusses one and suggests adaptations for different ages. Also suggests variations depending on your child's interests. The best part is the author's understanding the difficulties of raising an ADHD kid, the problems parents encounter and the potential for turning things around to benefit your kid. It is easy to read clear and insightful. It is organized in a way so you can pick one aspect and work on those activities. You don't have to read cover to cover to start using the techniques.
I recommend this book.

Summary: Awsome! A must read for struggling parents
Comment: I have a child who has ADD and I can tell you that this book single handedly changed my way of thinking and its too early to tell right now but I'm sure that the things I have learned in this book will bring some very nice rewards later.
This book gives hope to parents who feel they have lost it. PLEASE READ!!!
