Dreamers, Discoverers, and Dynamos is a warmly written book. It provides for our better understanding of ADHD, and for clear direction and practical suggestions to help children who are growing up and living with the Edison trait. It is an inspiring and motivating guide. I recommend it to parents and educators, and medical and mental health professionals as well.

J OEL O XMAN , Ph.D.

If children cannot explore through imagination, then there would not have been a Thomas Edison, an Albert Einstein, or a Bill Gates. Dreamers, Discoverers, and Dynamos should be in the hands of all educators, psychotherapists, and parents.

An excellent resource for both parents and professionals. This book addresses the ADHD phenomena in creative, positive terms and provides parents with practical suggestions. It is a caring, sensitive, and very readable book, yet it also includes accurate, current scientific knowledge.

I strongly urge all parents, teachers, and professionals who love and work with children to read this book.
