Long description

Parents and caregivers who struggle to cope with the demands of modern day living and need practical, sensible advice to raise happy, well-adjusted and independent children will find this title invaluable. The manual that never came with your child covers: an appropriate environment for the child to do his or her homework; the setting up of routines; how to organise weekly and monthly planners; study methods; an effective homework diary; games and activities to improve visual and auditory perceptual skills, as well as fine and gross motor skills; food that will optimise brain power; discipline. Written in laymen's terms, the text is accompanied by full-colour cartoons throughout, which lightens the approach to issues that are often regarded as nightmares by despairing parents. Regular Handy Hints boxes summarise the preceding concepts in a nutshell.

  Useful and Practical information
Reviewed by Belinda from Pretoria, South Africa on 21 May 2013

I have found the book to be useful with very practical information and advice that works. All of a sudden we seem to have time to do those extra things there was never time for!

  Great Book
Reviewed by Corne from Pretoria, South Africa on 02 May 2013

This is a great book not only for parents with children diagnosed with ADHD and hyperactivity but for any parent who wants to implement stability and harmony in their child’s routine without having to physically discipline a child. It looks at the world from a child’s perspective and explains to the parent what the child, sees, hears and feels when confronted with day to day life. The book relies on many illustrated pages and examples of charts and rosters for your child. This book was “prescribed” to us by an occupational therapist and I can see why.

This is a brilliant book. It enables you to look at parenting from a totally different perspective and it gives you useful tools to make it easier to be organised.
