Rather, explosive kids are lacking some crucial skills in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving, and they require a different approach.

Seeking a village...
I suppose the main reason anyone would seek out this book would be if they were in a similar situation as Penny and her family.
As it is, my son's diagnosis is pretty much bang on identical to Ricochet's... so this story was most insightful, helpful, comforting and really worthwhile.
It is my first non technical port of call in terms of ADHD / Dysgraphia / processing disorder reading so it really was a great relief. I shed some tears probably just glad to know we aren't alone, but also seeing the breadth of everything laid out.
Highly recommended.

She lost me at the word "dope"
I wanted to love this book, the context was intriguing and I hoped I would find some useful information from someone who has gone through my current situation. But when she said "we didn't want to dope our child" she completely lost my respect. That was very judgmental. Had she used the word 'medicate' I would have kept reading because I understand that not everyone decides to do that. But by using the word 'dope' I felt very judged because I do choose to MEDICATE my son. And let me tell you, it has made his school experience 100x better.

A Memoir, Not A Guide
An intimate memoir of a mother's struggle with her child's ADHD. Reads more as a personal journal than a guidebook for other parents, so keep that in mind. There are definitely some touching and authentic moments, though rather unpolished in structure and writing style. The narrator speaks clearly, but her voice quickly becomes monotonous, and she has a depressing vibe. There aren't many peaks and valleys in her tone. I don't know that I would recommend this audiobook to others unless they are simply looking for shared experiences in their parenting journey.

All teachers should be required to read this book.
I absolutely loved this book. It felt as if I were describing my own child and all of her disabilities. She became so broken-hearted along with her father and me that we made the decision to homeschool just shortly after returning from Christmas break of her Kindergarten year. We could no longer accept the lack of support and effort that she was receiving. I never dreamed that I would be homeschooling one of my children. We adopted our daughter who was born addicted to meth amphetamines. She came to us at 3 weeks old. We expected that she would have ADHD, but we had no clue how many other disabilities that she would have until we started Kindergarten. Our two oldest daughters were A B students from K-12. They never struggled with school and they both excelled academically. I give this momma an A+ for her will to fight for her son’s education. I had just endured hip surgery and a double spinal fusion a month before our daughter started Kindergarten and physically couldn’t keep up the fight that we also found ourselves in. After numerous phone calls, emails, and in school meetings, we threw in the towel and rescued our daughter from that nightmare. I have found myself with tears falling while listening to this beautifully written book. It helps a little bit to know that our daughter isn’t struggling alone with her disabilities. Thank you for sharing your incredibly brave story with us.

This is not a how to fix! it is a wonderful story of the trials and tribulations of raising a child with ADD. This book really hits home, now an adult with ADD ADHD thIS story mirrored my childhood struggles right down to being told I was not wanted at a parochial school. This book offered insight of what my mother and teachers went thru in my early years. if you want to relate or have a glimpse of the struggle of ADD\ADHD this is a wonderfully read book.

Negative and depressing
Don't buy this one if you are hoping for a positive viewpoint and the ability to learn good strategies from other parents who have walked the ADHD path before you. This book focuses very much on the negatives and the bad days. It over dramatises the tough times that come along with ADHD. I felt compelled to keep listening as I was sure the author was at some time going to reassure me that persistence pays off or give some ideas to make things better. Any sniff of positivity only came right at the very end. Not one to lift your mood and help you look on the bright side I'm afraid. If you want to listen to someone having a good moan about how awful things can be for a family on the constant up hill struggle of having a child with ADHD...you'll love this book!

Annoying
I suppose if your main parenting obsession is making sure that your kid achieves academically this book is for you. I have a kid who likely has adhd - and he has many of the same behaviours as Ms Willliams's child and yet while I do want to work with him on his behaviours - I would never feel the need to meticulously document each meltdown and title it "ADHD is ruining my life" which is what this book feels like. It also feels like what she wants is a completely sedate 6 year old without ever having to let him run around or preventing him from eating cookies for breakfast. If your kid is bouncing off the walls ADHD might have something to do with it but it also might be because you let him eat sugar for breakfast and you never let him go outside. I'm a big fan of trying out environmental factors before deciding that every behaviour issue is a result of medication not being exactly right. It just feel like, listening to this book - any time her kid misbehaves she blames it on the medicine - and takes pride in it because she's such a great mama. Not as helpful as I had hoped it would be. Also hate the blogger pet names she gives everyone.

A very good insight into a parent's struggle.
Hearing about the personal daily struggles with supporting a child with Adhd makes this book so valuable. I felt for Mom, child and family. This book gives a very good insight about the trials as nd tribulations of navigating life, education, and specialist services, encountering disappointing inadequacies in educational resources, but at the same time highlighting great work and good will among educational staff on the ground.. For the most part.
