Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: Cashes in on "Executive Function" buzzword Are you a parent who treats your child like a human being? If not, then get this book to review basic parenting skills. If you already know how to kindly ask Johnny to wait before interupting, then there will be nothing new in this book. Although I tried, I couldn't get through the ramblings about giving Susy ten minute warnings, letting Bobby experience "natural consequences," and providing Sally with verbal praise. I assume that most parents raising a child with executive functioning problems are already aware of most of the techniques in this book, because the descriptions about how to respond to various scenarios are mostly common sense. The first half of the book reviews executive functioning, which would be good for those who have no knowledge of the term, however there are other more informative books which would give as good of a tutorial. The only helpful part of this book is encouragement to stick with the difficulties of raising a child with executive function difficulties and keeping your eye on the end goals. However, this book will not provide much concrete help to reach those goals. Bored, Useless, and a Waste of Time The is probably the worst book I have ever read, Period. There is nothing here to help children with ADD. All advice is just common sense. There are no gems in this book. It's so boring it's painful to read. Late, Lost and Unprepared Helpful book that gives a good overview of what to consider if a teenager lacks organization. Content covered a number of topics that a child Every teacher should have this book Every school teacher should read this book. It gives great insight into the behaviors many students exhibit that frustrate teachers most. As an adult with executive function delays, I found many of the skills and approaches the authors suggested to teachers working with students with this issue, to be the kind of treatment I wish I would have gotten from teachers when I was growing up. Solid guidance -- a great book for parents After you're done nodding your head and smiling in recognition of the authors' examples (lost homework, etc.), you'll realize that this book backs up its empathetic approach with very solid guidance on dealing with executive function issues. Well done! | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
