Summary: The best $10 I've spent as a parent!
Review: This book was recommended to me by our pediatrician, and I have to say it has dramatically changed the way I work with my son! It helped me to look at the "negative" attributes as positive traits, and really enjoy his energy! This book has saved my sanity, and I have recommended it to several friends.

Summary: Invaluable, amazing, a god-send
Review: When I first picked up this book and looked through it, I thought "when was this woman in my house?" We've clung to it like a lifeline. It was such a relief to know it wasn't us, there wasn't 'something wrong with him', and that there were ways to cope. I've recommended this book to several people who have been equally thrilled. I've been able to use things learned to help him in school, help him with transition times, and head off some of the explosions. Life will never be calm and peaceful with an active alert in the house, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing! We've been especially blessed to become part of Linda's client base and meet with her several times/year. Let me just say, she's amazing!!!!!! Buy this book!!!!

Summary: This book has been a God-send!
Review: When I quickly read through the descriptions of Active Alert children, I knew Linda was talking about my daughter. My first child was so different and there had been no major conflicts during his early years (even now as a teenager, he is usually a pleasure). My own personality is not as intense as my daughter's; so I was at a loss how to respond many times. I was constantly fluctuating between feelings that I was at fault as a parent and that my daughter was impossible to live with. With this book, I was able to understand why my daughter acted as she did and was given the tools to work with her. I bought this book when she was 6 yrs. old but occasionally need to refer to it now(10 yrs. old). Our relationship and family life is much improved and I'm grateful to the author for her sensitivity and insight.
