Parenting Your Child with ADHD: A No-Nonsense Guide for Nurturing Self-Reliance and Cooperation in Your Child - Softcover

"Parenting Your Child with ADHD is a very impressive book that challenges assumptions about ADHD in a thoughtful, skilled fashion. Wiener offers parents an alternative approach to medication--one that emphasizes nurturing a child's self-confidence, self-reliance, self-discipline, and resilience. He highlights practical and realistic strategies to address common issues faced by children with ADHD, their parents, and teachers. His empathic, nonjudgmental perspective is evident on each page of this book. Parenting Your Child with ADHD will serve as a rich resource for parents and professionals alike." --Robert Brooks, PhD, coauthor of Raising Resilient Children and Raising a Self-Disciplined Child "I highly recommend this book for all educators who are seeking alternative methods to work with students who test the boundaries of behavior. Craig B. Wiener gives us examples and insights to assist us in understanding why and how some children who were previously described as having "conditions" can be worked with using techniques that can modify unacceptable behaviors. This book supports the Montessori method, which also endorses doing the hard work necessary to help the child for the long term. I suggest to anyone interested in positive results to put in the time and effort with methods that are outlined in Wiener's new book." --Christine Kovago, director at Pincushion Hill Montessori School "A practical, non-judgmental guide for parents seeking an alternative to medication." --L. Alan Sroufe, PhD, professor at the Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota, and author of The Development of the Person "If you have picked up this book, you are probably frustrated and looking for some answers. After teaching parenting for over 30 years, this is by far the most helpful, practical book I have read on ADHD. If you are tired of yelling, threatening, taking away privileges, and bribing, then this book is a must-read." --Kathryn Kvols, author of Redirecting Children's Behavior and president of the International Network for Children and Families
