Book Reviews of Learning To Slow Down & Pay Attention: A Book for Kids About Adhd
Book Review: A useful resource for counseling children with ADHD
Summary: 4 Stars
We use this book with children and parents at our child and family counseling clinic.
There is a lot of information packed into this small book, more than most children can easily make use of. However, it has some very useful parts and overall can be a good guide to help a child and adult work together and find ways to manage ADHD-related difficulties.
The most appealing part for children is Part 1, "A Checklist About Me." It lists sixty-six behaviors, issues and feelings relevant to children with ADHD. By going over the list with the child, the counselor (or parent) can get a sense of how the child perceives the ADHD-related difficulties. This information can be helpful in mapping out a treatment plan.
Part 3, "Things I can do to Help Myself," can also help in treatment planning. There are more than a dozen sections and each section describes one problem (completing tasks, managing homework, etc) and then lists helpful interventions. This is more information than most kids can digest, but it is useful reading for parents: it can give the parent some food for thought and be a help in selecting priorities for a treatment plan.
Part 4 addresses the parent-child relationship: it explains to the child and parent how to work together to make changes. It's good, basic information and is followed by an excellent "Note to Parents."
Overall, this small volume would be a worthwhile addition to any counselor or therapist's ADHD library.
