Book Reviews of Brain Exercises to Cure ADHD
Book Review: don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
As a mother of two sons with ADHD I am always trying to stay current on the latest tools to help them. After reading the reviews I was really interested in this book. I guess I was interested because, since the title of the book is "Brain Exercises to Cure ADHD", I thought there might be some actual brain exercises in the book. There are 271 pages. The closest thing to this is the chapter on Brain Exercise Therapy (p. 113-126). There is basically a description of the science of brain neurons and how they are different in the ADHD brain. The author also describes that using the brain in new ways develops more neurons. OK, this makes sense. At long last I made it to the whopping 2 pages with suggested activities, and the activities aren't really specific to what area of the brain they will help develop. For example, "What is of interest to your child? Use it. For example, children often develop intense interests. If they are fascinated with cats or dogs, buy books that discuss the different types and their names". Additional suggestions include doing martial arts, chess, magic tricks and Rummikub. None of these ideas are bad, but they are also not rocket science and there is no specific benefit tied to any of them. Honestly, there is virtually no information in this book that you don't already know (gems like "praise you child" and "have structure and boundaries". Really? Don't we already know that?!) This book was a big fat waste and I'm pretty sure the other reviews were written by relatives of the author. If you want specific activities that work get Brain Gym, or Rappin' on the Reflexes.
