As a classroom teacher, reading specialist, and PK-12 principal in both public and private schools for 40+ years, I wish that I had had this resource to share with parents and teachers! There are so many aspects of this book to commend, but these are my favorites.  First, the structure and organization of the book itself make all of the info inside easily accessible and almost instantly usable.  The tables of guidelines for each area of executive functioning are so objectively helpful for parents who are trying to clarify how “normal” might look. 
	The “Is this a problem?” section helps parents move from a generalized sense of something wrong to pinpointing more specific behaviors, and the literature links offer a wonderful way for parents and children to communicate and empathize about their feelings related to EF difficulties.
	Kudos to the authors for spelling out the extra care and attention which are critical for children with two homes.  More and more and more kudos to the authors for blame-free and do-able ways to help caring adults help kids. 

What I like most about Jim and Mary Anne’s latest resource for parents is its excellent “go to” reading style. Whatever the age, whatever the issue, they have broken down the problem and offered strategies for the home, school, and the community. There are solutions for the family and lists for teachers. And, most brilliant, the authors address our children’s current obsession, technology, with tips for using the latest apps, software, and other smart phone functions to help with executive functioning difficulties. Get ready to celebrate your child’s improvement in the area of executive functioning, finally, with this phenomenal resource!
