Living with the Active Alert Child

by L BUDD

June 1, 1993 | Trade Paperback

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.

    What a wonderful book! I've read many parenting books but this is the first one that seems to be written just for my son. It provides tips for dealing with sleep problems, how to work with all of the excess energy, as well as the many other traits of the "active alert child". If you know your child is more active than other children, and can't compare parenting notes with friends because they can't relate, you have to read this one.

    This gave us an invaluable understanding our youngest boy, my wife, my youngest brother and my father, all kinesthetic learners. It will assist in repairing bad patterns/relationships and assist in providing the best education for our boy.
