Book Reviews of Stopping Hyperactivity: A New Solution

Book Review: This book contains a sensible solution to a serious problem!
Summary: 5 Stars

I especially liked the excellent mix of reference based information and anecdotal records, interspersed with entertaining personal comments from the co-authors/educators, Drs. Cook and O'Dell, who have been "practicing what they preach" for the past 25 years.

The authors have based their work on the findings of a physical therapist, Dr. Miriam Bender, who studied children with learning disabilities. Their book is divided into three parts. Part 1 gives a sensible and well-documented explanation for the physical problem that causes some children to be unable to remain in a sitting position, and describes theeffects that this problem can have on their lives. Part 2 contains practical suggestions as to how to deal with the resulting behaviors, not only at school, but also in many other settings. Part 3 consists of detailed instructions (with photos) for an exercise program that can cure the underlying cause of the problem.

I have been both a parent and educator of special needs children for many years, and after reading this book I definitely feel that there is hope for the future, not only for educators and parents who deal daily with children who are really trying but can't sit still, but also for those of us adults who are still struggling to "sit up straight" without discomfort. This is a book that is both practical enough to please parents and technical enough to train teachers, and its message has the potential of producing positive results in many, many people's lives.

Summary of Stopping Hyperactivity: A New Solution

This timely book explains a program that has been proven to succeed in diminishing or eliminating hyperactive behavior in children and adults without drugs or intensive behavioral therapies. In three parts the book identifies the problem, discusses circumventive treatments, and shows beneficial exercises illustrated by photographs.
