Title: healthy vs. "sick" views of ADD/ADDH
Review: As a parent of a child with ADD and suffering from ADD myself, this book was different and helpful. Almost all other books I have read thus far about ADD and ADDH have been somewhat depressing and discouraging, and many so-called ADD experts paint kids with ADD as having broken brains. This book presents a much more upbeat but practical view, with lots of tips and advice from the author's own experience as a parent and doctor. Better yet, Jensen gives many direct quotes, straight from the hearts of dozens of other parents whose words were, to put bluntly, inspiring. This approach made me believe that me and my two sons with ADD/ADDH could do great things despite ADD, that ADHD needn't always be such a bad thing, and that it might even have some good parts about it. Highly recommended.3 other books I'd recommend - Delivered from Distraction by Hallowell, The Gift of ADHD by Honos-Webb, and the Edison Gene by Hartmann.
