Comments on Active or Hyperactive:

"This is an awesome course!!  I feel like I have benefited immensely.  Thank you!!"  - Kerrville, Texas

"I really enjoyed this course -- it was very in-depth and informative." - Thiensville, WI

"Thank you so much for providing your wonderful self-study courses for childcare providers.  I have taken five of your courses in the past year and have found them well written, complete and concise.  The format is very well organized and easy to follow - the self checks help to review areas that I needed to go over again and the assignments were very helpful to then use the content in my classes.   The last course I took was Active or Hyperactive? The textbook, Living with the Active Alert Child was such a helpful resource and combined with the additional information in the course booklet - I gained invaluable insight into some of the children's behavior and temperaments that I have taught.  This book and course will be such a useful tool to refer to and use with parents or staff when we have an active alert child enrolled in our preschool - It has definitely helped me understand these children better so that I can meet their needs better.  Thank you for this course." - Madison, WI

"This course defined my daughter to a tee!  She has always been so difficult to handle and my mom calls her "spoiled."  It was so good to read this course and keep saying, "Yes, that is my kid!" Thank you for offering such a wonderfully helpful course." - Dallas, Texas
