The Wildest Colts Make the Best Horses

John Breeding has written an important book for all parents, not just folks struggling with a child's developmental difficulties. His warnings about Drugging children need to be taken seriously. We are headed for extreme trouble as more and more children are controlled with mind altering drugs to further the profits of the manufacturers. ADD and ADHD are not medical conditions and it is a huge mistake to treat them as though they are. Dr. Breeding offers REAL solutions for a growing cultural problem.

This book is very good and was exactly what I expected to get. The description was dead on and helpful.

John Breeding has put together information we really need to know. He explains how we can relate constructively to our children and what we need to do for ourselves to become skillful at it. Very interesting and extreemly helpful.

I sent this book to my daughter who is raising a 7 year old with ADHD.She got so much from it, and so did her husband.Beautiful title, wonderful concept.

Great book! Our future leaders are energetic young people and could easily be labeled "hyperactive" or "ADHD". This book debunks a lot of the myths about that.

I'm on the author's side in this debate, but the arguments are so biased that even I questioned its relevance and authority on the topic.

Must be the most useful, supportive book I had for the past 3 years since doctors tried to labeled my child as ADHD! Thank Goodness I found Dr Breeding's book ' Wildest Colts Make the Best Horses' who saved my child from life long psychotropic' medication'. I am glad I have followed his advice on the book against the pediatrics and experts, and decided that I would be supporting education as best I could but medication is NOT an option.I carried it with me in my bag and I have consulted this book before each annual review and consultations, so I had the right answers on the top of my tongue ready to be the best advocate as possible of my 'wild little colt.'I have persuaded and my child is currently 'growing out' of this fictional ADHD diagnosis. Exaggerated active kids are just that. I couldn't believe it but it is true, children grow out of it and without medication!!!

This book just made sense to me in so many ways. One of the best quotes from this book is: "see your children through the eyes of delight." I thought that was so great. They are our children, not adults. We expect other young animals (yes, we're mammals:) to act like young animals and accept that they will act that way, but adults want to drug our young adults if they don't act like grown adults. We don't drug our puppies for acting like puppies, but society thinks it's great to give our kids speed. They're not adults, they are children and they will act like children. The most foolish statement I've ever heard from an adult is "children are so childish." Believe it or not you weren't born an adult, you were once a kid yourself. Enjoy the life your children force into you. Enjoy their energy. Treasure them-you're raising our future. Play. Live. Love life. Pay attention to them. They'll be gone before you know it and then we'll have whiplash:)
