"The best parent resource on executive skills that I have seen. As a parent of three children, one of whom has learning disabilities, and as a special education associate who works in the classroom, I highly recommend this book. It shows there is hope for children who are struggling, and offers practical, detailed advice."--L. Libbey, parent, Hampton, NH"Filled with real-world examples and solutions, this easy-to-read book is the first comprehensive guide to the management of children's executive skills. It gets to the heart of the matter, offering both parents and teachers accessible and highly efficient means to cope with a gamut of obstacles faced by children of all ages and abilities."--Kristina Mecelicaite, MEd, special education coordinator, North Central Charter Essential School, Fitchburg, MA "Do you feel stymied by your child's failure to live up to his or her potential? Have you run out of ideas about how to handle the situation? Look no further--this fascinating and readable book is packed full of useful ideas that will help you understand what the problem is and how you can help. It presents practical and proven techniques based on rigorous scientific research."--Peter Farrell, PhD, University of Manchester, UK; past president, International School Psychology Association"Drs. Dawson and Guare translate cutting-edge research into meaningful, practical, well-organized, and easy-to-implement strategies that parents can use to enhance a child's natural executive abilities. This brilliant book is by far the best on the topic that I have read to date."--Russell A. Barkley, PhD, ABPP, author of Taking Charge of ADHD
The latest research in child development shows that many kids who have the brain and heart to succeed lack or lag behind in crucial “executive skills”--the fundamental habits of mind required for getting organized, staying focused, and controlling impulses and emotions. Learn easy-to-follow steps to identify your child’s strengths and weaknesses, use activities and techniques proven to boost specific skills, and problem-solve daily routines. Small changes can add up to big improvements--this empowering book shows how.
Be Prepared With a Notepad and Pen (or Laptop )YOU'LL NEED IT! a tad interesting, but mostly confusing This is NOT an easy read, You have to be prepared. With a laptop or pen and pad. There is just so much information seeping through the pages. Don't get me wrong - I love the 'waiting room' books, this is just not the one. It is extremely comprehensive text. There s information overkill. Warning: if you buy this book, be mentally and physically prepared (see the suggestion of laptop above) Good luck!Smart but Scattered The title describes my daughter to a T. This book has been extremely helpful in learning how to work with her in a positive way and help her to take advantage of all the wonderful things about her. Smart but scattered children can be extremely frustrating and as parents we too often let the frustration guide us. This book helps to better understand this child and so keep the frustration from making the parenting decisions.Updates! Plenty of strategies and modeling scenarios!☺ Some resources are nonexistent or dated.😕 It would be great if the authors would tamp out a more current edition
