review 1: This is a fabulous resource for parents of any child struggling with executive skills. It includes questionnaires that helped me figure out which executive skills are my child's strengths and weaknesses (and find out my own). By the time I finished the book, I had a detailed plan for how to help my child finish her homework and get ready for school in the morning. I was so impressed that although I checked this book out from the library and read it all, I am ordering a copy for home reference.
review 2: This book was helpful. It offers lots of coping ideas and plans to help the scattered child. I just wish it had been organized a little differently. It covered the young child through middle school/high school age. I wish it had split it up in sections by age
... mores because I was afraid to skip sections because I thought I might miss something, but I really could have done without some of the suggestions for the little ones. less

I had hoped for something more practical and less theoretical. I was disappointed.
