ADHD,

this book is fantastic,

September 20, 2008

By A. Walker

Dr. Weather's first book (Pathway to Success) was very informative and made perfect sense after spending 2 years reading everything about ADHD and after having tried every medication and having seen numerous doctors/specialists. We were in a desperate situation with our son and decided it was worth the money to go see Dr. weathers and hope for a miracle. The experience was life-changing for our entire family - our son is now the happy, confident little boy he deserves to be and we now know how to continue to effectively parent him. The teachers, principal and school counselor are all awe-struck at the complete turn around in our son.  

Just returned from meeting Dr. weathers

After getting over the shock that in 4th grade a teacher questioned if my son had ADD/ADHD ...I began to research. I had many questions, why had no other teacher asked this before? Why had I, an educator myself, never noticed this? Why could my son, Jack, sit for hours and read through instruction manuals and constuct complicated Legos structures and put together a 1300 piece K'Nex roller coaster on his own...but not complete paper pencil tasks in English???? How could he have developed ADD/ADHD suddenly? All of this flew in the face of what I thought I knew about ADD/ADHD.

If Jack was hyper and couldn't focused as the teachers said...why could he do the above things that obviously required concentration and self disclipline??? Why, Why why?

Dr. weathers provided answers that rang true for me (and what I learned as a degreed teacher from Texas A&M) and more importantly for my child.
After reading of both of Dr. Weathers'books, and exchanging many emails to Dr. Weathers about Jack and our family, we decided to go visit him. It was the best thing I ever did for my child, our family and my marriage.

As Dr. Weathers books explain, children don't like to sit in a desk all day long and do worksheets. It is boring, and one can easily develop bad feelings/anxiety about the thought of doing this every day all day long...the desire to escape is strong, even if it's a mental esacpe, hence ADD/ADHD.
When you visit Dr. Weathers, you work through your feelings of anxiety, guilt, fear and anything else you are dealing with by using the EDMR technology. EDMR is a procedure has been around since the Vietnam War, and is highly a highly successful mode of thepary.

Dr. Weathers gave me answers to my questions and so much more! He helped my son work through his issues, and tweaked our parenting style a little. My husband even worked through a nervous tic he'd been dealing for 35 years! Pretty amazing considering we only spent 3 days with Dr. Weathers! But again, it's not magic, it is common sense. Tics are an outward expression of anxiety. If you deal with the anxiety you have no more tics. Similarly, ADD/ADHD is a result of anxiety if you extinguish the feelings of frustration and anxiety you can handle the task.

Read the books, email and ask questions to Dr. Weathers, and make an educated decision...I am glad I did! It was the best thing I ever did for my child and our family!!

A good understanding of ADHD

I haven't read all of this book but what I have read has been very helpful. I highly recommend it to anyone with a child with ADHD. Good luck. 

Finally a drug-free approach for common learning disability

, June 26, 2008 Raj "Raj" (LA) -

A refreshing look at the symptoms of ADHD. The book makes a convincing case for a drug-free treatment of learning disabilities. The author seems well informed and is very helpful with answering any concerns a reader may have, A must read for parents with children who have a difficult time with school work.

It works!, October 26, 2007

We tried the approach in this book out of sheer desperation. We have two teenagers, one with ADD and one with ADHD. Over a period of 3 years, we had tried every medication available, with marginal results. The meds  helped, but they felt like a bandage on a gaping wound. The dosage we ended up with was too low to really do the job, yet we couldn't go higher and risk more weight loss or slowed growth -- at 14, my daughter was 4'6" and weighed only 62 pounds, and I suspected the meds were keeping her from entering puberty as well. I began searching for an alternative and found Dr. Weathers' book.

Reading his book, I began to feel hope for the first time that maybe we really didn't have to live with this forever. His theories made sense to me, and I saw my kids in them. Admittedly, the book isn't of much practical help by itself. It helps you understand your child, but you can't really implement the theories without going for his treatment. The good news, though, is that the treatment WORKS! We were desperate enough for a solution that we tried it, and it's the best decision we ever made.

It's hard to believe that four days can make such a difference. The kids have now been off their meds for 5 months and we don't miss them in the least. They have each gained 20 pounds, and neither of them exhibits the hyper, distractible behavior that led us to try the meds to begin with. In fact, their behavior, schoolwork, and social interactions are under much better control than they ever were with the meds. I highly recommend Dr. Weathers' book, and I even more highly recommend a trip to Spokane! You won't regret it!
