'Dr. Saline helps parents understand the negative and positive thought patterns in their families, expose the components of unhelpful behaviors and, then, using her 5 C's approach, guides them toward workable solutions. I highly recommend this book to assist parents in tuning up their abilities to see and hear their children's signals more accurately, untie the knots of miscommunication, and improve everyone's coping strategies for living with ADHD' - Aaron T. Beck, MD, Psychiatrist and Professor Emeritus University of Pennsylvania, Perelman School of Medicine
