******* "Parenting difficult children is a major stress for parents.
George Lynn's book offers a look inside the 'Attention Different' (AD) child
and provides many practical stress relieving suggestions for helping the AD
child, the parents, and for managing school-caused stress. I highly recommend
this book for any parents of an AD child." Linda Smith, Past Coordinator of
the Utah State ADD Council and parent of a child with ADD
**** This was
the first book to describe the extreme behaviors often seen with Attention
Deficit Disorder and provide practical strategies for managing them at home
and school. Highlights Ø
Ventures
the term “Attention Different” to describe children diagnosed with ADD and
those showing features of extreme behavior.
Children with ADD have a wide, intuitive, and visual style of focus,
not the narrow and specialized focus that makes a child successful at school. Children whose behavior show features of
Bipolar Disorder selectively focus on the emotional domain to the exclusion
of self-control. They may be brilliant
interpreters of the emotional domain as poets or actors but a mess in their
personal lives. Ø
Provides strategies for controlling and managing rage in
children. Ø
Features
a chapter on oppositionality (Chapter 6) that has become a top download
on the internet since 1996. Ø
Provides techniques for parents to use to control
household uproar, including the popular “role negotiation” process for
getting through to ADD teenagers. Ø
Describes the process of getting educational services for
Attention Different children and how implementation by school districts is
hampered by their bureaucratic form. . George T. Lynn, M.A., M.P.A.,
