Smart but Scattered : The Revolutionary "Executive Skills" Approach to Helping Kids Reach Their Potential (Paperback)

My son's doctor recommended this book to help us with his ADHD and Asperger's, but I am finding that it is a great tool for any parent with any child who needs a little boost in the "executive skills" areas they are weak in. For that matter, it is great for adults to evaluate their own strengths and weaknesses in order to help your children and yourself.

Bought this book to teach my children about skills such as initiation, perseverance, and organization. I think it will give the balance needed for true life success in addition to their intelligence. Advice is step by step and many forms given to actually implement ideas, rewards, and consequences. Leaves you with no questions as to what you can do and what you should expect as a parent, but there are a lot of pages to read so be patient.
