A Helpful Book
Oct 20th, 2008 by Julie
I just finished the book ADHD & me, what i learned from lighting fires at the dinner table. It is written by Blake Taylor, a guy now in college, who writes about his experiences dealing with adhd. It is a great book! I wish this book had been available back when I was trying to navigate the ADD highway with one of my boys. Blake writes it about himself and how he felt—it would have been helpful to have seen things from the child’s prospective. He also gives helpful hints to those dealing with adhd so that they can avoid some of the pitfalls he had.
It’s a good book for teachers–from preschool to high school, so they will be able to understand their students a little better and know how to help them. It’s a good book for parents to understand how their child feels. Mainly it’s a terrific book for all children with ADD or ADHD or behavorial issues to read to know that they are not alone in their feelings, and to get some positive insight from someone who has been there.
