Wow. This is a rule comprehensive, well researched and referenced book for anyone managing life with a child with ADHD. It’s often misdiagnosed, or even missed (‘Naughty’ children!) so to have a CBT approach like this can only support children to manage and grow in a world which increasingly stifles individuality.
Lots of practical examples, and reassuring advice, I’d recommend this to parents, teachers, nurses, practitioners – anyone.

In summary this is a very useful resource with clear guidance for professionals, individual and group formats.
It has enough theory and I think it’s clinically relevant. A really effective guide.
The guide covers a wide variety of topics that affect children with ADHD, including school performance, social skills, and self-esteem.
I found the advice easy to follow and although it could be considered a ‘textbook’ it’s a very accessible book. Well written and not ‘jargony’.
The CBT activities offered in this book are an excellent resource for children, parents, and teachers alike.

This book is expensive but well worth the investment – backed up with further activities and information online via the website.
In my household we have teaching and health experience and we both found this book useful for our practice. I would have no hesitation in recommending to parents to support them to help both understand and help their child through a world which can be challenging, scary and frustrating.
Easy to read without being condescending.
A must for all those who support children living with ADHD.

A very helpful and well written book which will certainly help any parent who has a child with ADHD. Cognitive behaviour therapy doesn’t work for everyone but will certainly help with goal setting and achievements, alternative thoughts etc with many and this book is presented in a very logical and thoughtful way, easily transferable for working with young children. Some very useful exercises and tools and definately worth trying and more importantly, persevering with.
Good value for money and fits in filling cabinets and good arrange of colours a available . –
