Mom of ADD child

This book was the most comprehensive and up to date one I've found. As a physician myself, I appreciate the scientific references and clinical advice.

Very compatible narration

I heard it two times and a few more times are in my plan.Subject material and tone are quite compatible with what goes on with human emotions for the innocent youth facing consequences of a disorder that prevents their cognitive success

Repetitive

They should have edited the text because they repeat the same informtion over and over.

Dr. Russell a Barkley PHD sets the standard for educating yourself on raising a child with ADHD

My five-year-old son’s Therapist said he was trained using the knowledge of Dr. Russell a Barkley PhD on the subject of children with ADHD and all things related. He is a great therapist and he has helped my child immensely. My son is only five years old and his ADHD is so severe that he is already on medication, I have listened to a couple of Dr.Barkley’s books and I plan to listen to many more.

Horrendous narration

I wish Dr. Barkley would have narrated the book as he is a wonderful orator. Regardless, I cannot stand the way the narrator’s delivery; the tone of the book is completely off. Even if you aren’t familiar with Dr. Barkley’s vocal delivery, there is a clear disconnect between the the narrator and the information.
