Customer Reviews
Excellent book, makes parents of these kids realize they are not alone.
This book is wonderful, it made me realize that other parents go through the same issues with children in the mix, and gives great ideas on how to combat some of the behaviors and help to better understand your child and the issues they face everyday.

Disappointed
I'm a grandmother, trying to help my daughter find information on how to deal with the behavior of children with possible ADHD. Her son is 3-1/2 and can be difficult to control at times. I didn't pass this book on to her because I didn't feel it would help.

Everyone that comes in contact with kids should read this book!
Gives great explanation for how childhood disorders can co-occur. I recommend it for everyone who is lucky enough to work with kids or have kids of their own read this book.

Good for parents not professsionals
A good resource for parents that need some understaning and explanation.
It is too basic for professioanls.

Helpful, but general
"Kids in the Syndrome Mix" is helpful and covers the common diagnoses we encounter in the classroom. I would couple this purchase with another title to gain insight into the families involved in these personal struggles, to add a level of intimacy and personalization, and to learn of symptoms first hand. I recommend buying this book along with "Mommy I'm Still in Here" by Kate McLaughlin. With both books, you begin to see the whole picture.
