I picked up a copy of this book because my nephews have ADHD. In addition to some emotional and psycological disorders. I love them very much and it is hard to see them going through these things at such a young age of nine and ten. Although they have been going through this for a while. My parents are great as they are helping my sister to raise her boys.
First what I like about this book is that Mrs. Dalgliesh has a child with sensory issues. So she is not just a person writing a book or someone with a degree. She has actually experienced the things she is writing about first hand. There are many different forms of sensory besides just ADHD. There is also bipolar, OCD, and autism to name a few. Mrs. Dalgliesh explains the difference between all of these forms. This is important because in order to hellp your child you have to first discover which of the types your child is. Each form has some of the same traits but again once you have truely figured out which sensory type your child is than you can really focus on helping them to have a better productive, happy, and healthy life. Also you will than find some peace. Mrs. Dalgliesh writes this book in a easy and understandable way. She does not talk down to the reader. I like this as I want to be able to understandd what I am reading without having to figure out what all the big words mean. Another thing that I liked about this book is all the work sheets that were in this book. The homework is not just for the adult but also for the child as well. This book will bring both the parents and children closer together. This book is a keeper that you can refer back to again and again.

3.5 stars.
I appreciate all the resources in the back of the book.
It felt like this book was reaching for organizing an entire life (as other reviewers have said) and while that’s important, I was looking for more practical “organize the room” advice. So the book seemed really heavy.
I did add many books from the resource page to my TBR list just because they sound helpful and may prove to be just what I need as I continue teach and love not only my own kids, but the kids we encounter at church, co-op, on playdates, etc.

Helpful, not as much for a kid with adhd as I was hoping but still helpful and applicable to kids all over the range of life. This was a great beginning book

Resourceful, not for parents, but for anyone working with a diverse group of children. It is very translatable and offers tips simply and to the point.
