Think you have a child that consumes most of you - doesn't matter if your the parent or the teacher, as a matter of fact doing it together is better. Work through the book and try to apply one lesson a week, each week add one more lesson. Re-work the book every 6 months to gauge the small changes that come first, and to help keep u pushing along! One child with ADHD, and another that borders on Autistic - demanding 90% of a 24 hour day simultaneously - regardless if the attention was pos or neg. It didn't leave me with much for my "normal" non-demanding child or myself. By the end of the first week, I was getting a different kind of call from the schools - telling me how much change they saw in my all of my kids.If you have children like mine, then you cant afford not to have this book!
