More than just another plan for dealing with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, this book shifts readers' focus from what's wrong to what can be right: creativity, intrapersonal intuition, and emotional expressiveness of children with ADHD. By reframing the situation, you can help your child focus and pay attention, channel your child's energy into co-operation, and foster intuition, imagination, and new interests.
"You are the parent. If you can change and do what this wonderful book invites you to change and do, then you can give the most precious gift to your child--transforming your child's "problem" into a strength. Please accept the gift of this book--for your child's sake."

"Honos-Webb grabbed my scattered attention quickly and held it with this enlightening book, without resorting to drugs. I nervously jumped to sections such as The Medical Model of Disease' and Why Medications May Not Be the Answer' and found them balanced and enlightening. Then I calmed down, read the rest, and learned a lot. You will too . . . if you can pay attention."
