Laura in STL Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Driven to Distraction by Dr Hallowell is my favorite. It's an old book, so some things might be outdated, but it may have been revised. He has several other newer books out that I don't have personal experience with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I second Hallowell's book. He has adhd himself, so he's not only writing as a doctor but also from first hand experience. And I know you didn't ask, but if it's your older ds who has adhd, I gave my son The Survival Guide for Kids with ADHD several years ago, and he found it helpful. He didn't want to talk with me or dh about his adhd, but after he read the book he initiated some conversation about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenL Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Thank you, everyone! I appreciate the recommendation, especially since a few of you all suggest the same book. And I know you didn't ask, but if it's your older ds who has adhd, I gave my son The Survival Guide for Kids with ADHD several years ago, and he found it helpful. He didn't want to talk with me or dh about his adhd, but after he read the book he initiated some conversation about it. Thank you, floridamom, for this recommendation. It is my oldest ds, and he's having difficulty talking to us about it because he's embarassed and struggles with sharing his feelings in general. I'm grateful for anything that will help him know that we want to help him while allowing him to better help himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeannpal Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I like the ADHD Parenting Handbook by Colleen Alexander-Roberts. There is a chapter in the book called, "Problems That Drive You Crazy." It has been so helpful! This chapter, in particular, has quite a number of workable solutions for everyday situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Ritalin Free Kids by Robert Ullman. We tried the adderall route and knew that it was not the answer. We decided to go homeopathic instead, and have seen amazing results. Read his book, you will be amazed.:001_smile: Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momof165 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I really liked "How to Get Your Child off the Refrigerator and on to Learning" by Carol Barnier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kareng Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Do any of the above mentioned books help with improving social skills for children with ADHD -- like how to interact with people, how to meet new people, what to do in new social situations, what to do when situations aren't predictable, etc?
