Proven strategies for beating ADD without drugs.
This book is about success. It is about transformation. It is about how with patience and energy, parents and teachers can create children who can concentrate, and transform the unlovable, the noisy into the calm, the clumsy into the careful, the impulsive and forgetful into the thoughtful.
In this book for parents and professionals, the authors show how their holistic approach to learning has had great success with children who have ADD or who can't concentrate, are impulsive, overactive or can't conform. They show how, with careful teaching, children respond to their methods and develop their potential, becoming responsible and thoughtful people in a remarkably short time.
The authors provide plenty of examples and practical suggestions for effective parenting: proven techniques and strategies for overcoming barriers to learning; developing every child's potential; understanding how a child is labelled as having ADD; dealing with disruptive or bizarre behaviour, tantrums, not listening.
Jean Robb and Hilary Letts are teachers and therapists who run "Successful Learning", an educational foundation in the United Kingdom. They regularly give seminars and classes in Australia. Their first book was 'Creating Kids Who Can'.
