Customer Reviews

Dr. Stein's methods work extremely well - was able to stop medicating my child

Who needs consultants and continuing psychological tests, etc., when you just need to parent correctly and consistently to get results for many children...My child was medicated for ADHD from 1st grade till 6th and using these techniques, we took him off his meds immediately and I literally, "got my child back." He was a mess - depressed, failing in school, a discipline nightmare, rude and someone, you just didn't want to be around...using the REST methods, we have a child that we never thought we would have. He isn't perfect (he is a teenager), but we and his teachers are amazed at the difference! A MUST READ FOR PARENTS OF ADD/ADHD children.

A Parent Handbook for Everyone

Dave Stein has written another practical guide for parents. It is very helpful for all parents, not just those whose children have been labeled with a "disorder". His Real Economy System for Teens is just what all teens need to be prepared for the real world. This is a great companion book to go with "Ritalin is Not the Answer: Action Guide", which is designed to help parents with younger children.

Excellent Book

Excellent Book. Perfect for Parents with a HyperActive child. Very Sage advice. Don't expect your child to admit that it works; but it works.
