Product Description
There’s nothing more frustrating than watching your bright, talented son or daughter struggle with everyday tasks like finishing homework, putting away toys, or following instructions at school. Your “smart but scattered” child might also have trouble coping with disappointment or managing anger. Drs. Peg Dawson and Richard Guare have great news: there’s a lot you can do to help. 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.

 Great resource July 18, 2010

This book has great examples and practical information. I wish I had read it years ago so I could have started using the ideas with my daughter earlier. I highly recommend it.

So far this is a great product. My son is 9 and has processing disorders as well as dyslexia. Both of which I have as well. I am hoping that this book will help me help him.

Smart but Scattered is a must have for any Special Education Teacher. A well organized method for evaluating needs in Executive Skills AND templates for monitoring, planning and other organizing tools. One of the best books I've purchased this year.

This is an amazing book for any parent, child care person or teacher who needs to interact with kids with executive functioning issues. I myself had poor working memory issues and have a 7th grader who needed a lot of help in this area. I also have a 7 year old that I never could understand. He has poor impulsiveness and emotional control. This book really, really helped me to understand him and figure out how to help him. I highly recommend the book. The only negative is that I think there could have been more hands on solutions to help kids (even though there were a lot) and maybe that is because I am a teacher, a person who overcame working memory issues and taught my 7th grader how to overcome them so I already had a bunch of tricks up my sleeves that weren't in the book.

An informative book that helps explain the reasons behind the often unexplainable thought process, or at times the lack of, that occurs in the individual with ADHD.
Helpful for the family member living with someone with ADHD and potentially eye opening for the individual diagnosed with ADHD.
