Customer Reviews

Perfect first resource for parents of ADHD children

In this thin volume, Mary Fowler has managed to capture the information that parents of children newly diagnosed with ADHD want and need to know. (It also makes a great review of the basics for more seasoned parents). The questions cover social issues, home and family problems, and strategies for schools. I'm sure that many parents will turn first to Chapter 13: "What parenting practices work best?" Fowler gives specific suggestions along with lots of reassurance. "20 Questions" is brief and to the point, and yet wonderfully informative--the perfect first resource for parents wary of being overwhelmed by too much information. This book is also a good one to give to family friends or relatives you wish knew more about ADHD, but who probably wouldn't sit down with a 300-page reference. I keep several copies on hand to give to the anxious parents of all my new patients. Carol Ann Brady, Ph.D. Clinical psychologist and columnist, Additude magazine.
