Living with the Active Alert Child

Do you have customers who say their children have more energy, more creativity and more intensity than any kids they've ever known? Do these parents feel as if they've been struggling to keep up since Day One? Then this is the book you should be recommending.

Psychologist Linda Budd points out there's nothing wrong with children like these: contrary to what others may have insisted, these kids aren't hyperactive or learning disabled. And there's nothing wrong with the parents, either. They're not bad parents because they're exhausted trying to manage their bright, sensitive, active children.

The first to define a profile for "active alert" children, Dr. Budd provides a clear delineation of common characteristics and helps parents understand what motivates children like theirs.
