Attention Deficient Disorder or ADD is an increasingly prevalent condition amongst America’s children. Now in a newly revised second edition, “Putting On The Brakes: Understanding And Taking Control Of Your ADD or ADHD” is the collaborative effort of developmental pediatrician and ADD treatment specialist Patricia Q. Quinn (Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Georgetown University Medical Center) and educational consultant Judith M. Stern. This thoroughly ‘kid friendly’ compendium of practical ideas, activities, and insights is specifically designed to help children to manage their attention disorders, make friends, control emotions, and improve their general health. Also available in a hardcover edition, “Putting On The Brakes” is very highly recommended reading and ideal for children ages 8 to 13 (and their parents) having to deal with ADD and ADHD in their daily lives at home and at school.
I highly recommend this book for children with ADD/ADHD. It is well written and engaging for the young reader. It is a positive book and does not put down the child. The book includes great exercises and activities for the child to complete after each section so they get to really think about what they read and how it applies to them personally. Great book.
