Superparenting for ADD by Edward M. Hallowell

Superparenting for ADD: An Innovative Approach to Raising Your Distracted Child by Edward M. Hallowell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a great book for focusing on the strengths of a child who has ADD. After being constantly told about what my daughter could not do and would always have problems doing, this book calmed my fears. School will always be a struggle in a traditional classroom, but my daughter doesn't learn everything at school. Later in life, there are plenty of jobs that actually use the strengths that a lot of people with ADD have.

The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg

The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is another one of those books that really changes the way I see myself. My day to day actions may not be the conscious decisions I thought they were. It is too hard for our brains to evaluate every situation in our lives and make decisions, so our brains learn routines - habits that help us make it through the day. Some habits we cultivate, like exercise, because they are good for us, and some we just can't seem to stop. This book helped me see my habits in a different way. I am hoping that I change some of the habits that I really don't like.
