This is a self help workbook for kids. It applies mostly to elementary school aged kids but could also be used with middle/junior high school kids. It consists of short exercises surrounding issues that are often problems for kids with ADHD: working with school teachers on academic troubles, getting along with others, making friends, wiggling too much.
Minuses are that many of the exercises are pencil and paper exercises. Since a good portion of kids with ADHD don't like to write, this can be a problem if you expect your child to sit down and complete the pages themselves. Also, some of the solutions posed are simplistic and there is no built in way to enforce practice of the exercises beyond trying them once while you are doing the pages.
Pluses are that the exercises are a good way to bring up issues with your child in a safe way. If you work through the exercises with your child orally, you'll probably get better participation than if you force them to write answers. Even better would be to work through this with a support group or with a therapist who could build in some accountability and help with follow through and practice.
