Book Review: Fire Child, Water Child

By Stephen Scott Cowan, MD

As Americans, we have a tendency to put everything and everyone into categories – the fewer, the better. Yet we are individuals. We are different and we need to recognize our differences. For children with developmental issues, we also need to treat these differences.

There is not an all-for-one solution for ADHD. There are many strategies and solutions for children with ADHD.

Dr. Cowan’s book explains these different ADHD styles as well as the treatments. The book has many charts, summary lists and tables. It’s a quick read and an easy reference.

I highly recommend it for anyone with ADHD.

In Deepak Chopra’s words, “Fire Child, Water Child is breakthrough work. Children are unique and deserve an expanded and elevated approach to healing.”
