“Eliminate disruptive behavior
in your classroom forever!”
My astoundingly simple and powerful techniques
(not to mention my free 5-part report)
will easily give you a more peaceful, productive
classroom — guaranteed every day for the
rest of your teaching career!
For all teachers grades K through 12 . . .
From: Prof. Tom Daly, San Diego, California
Dear Teacher,
We’ve never met, but I know a couple things about you:
1) You got into teaching for all the right reasons but find yourself occasionally frustrated by problem students who have the whammy on you and send you home feeling frustrated, defeated, disillusioned, unhappy, or worse.
And . . .
2) If someone gave you a new way of dealing with unresponsive and disruptive students — and it was an easy-to-follow method that actually worked — you’d want to hear more about it.
How do I know these things about you? I’ve been there myself!
This is me with my daughter Brooke . . .
Keep reading to see how I transformed a nightmare
classroom into my dream job—and how you can, too!
I’ve made a career out of helping other teachers succeed with students that other teachers gave up on. And my methods flat-out work, because for more than 11 years, I was "in the trenches" working with some of the most unreachable, learning disabled kids in a major metropolitan school district. For more on my background, click here.
I’m talking about all kinds of students, all the way from innocent class clowns to violent, scary types. And every one of them had hidden talents and skills they weren’t using nearly as powerfully as they could.
Here’s the problem!
Teachers are trained to deliver information to students who will sit still and listen --- and then they’re put in front of classrooms with students
who won't sit still and listen!
Hello?? Does anyone else see a problem here?
And so we drive home frustrated, wondering, "Why did I ever go into teaching?" or, "Am I really cut out for this?" or, "If only those two ADHD kids weren't in my class, everything would be perfect."
The amazing thing is, once I found the secret to reaching these kids (which I will reveal in a minute), their lives and fortunes changed forever — and I became a happier, more fulfilled person.
I was in love with my job again. I re-experienced again all the wonderful reasons I became a teacher.
(You do remember that feeling, don’t you?)
Before I give you the secret, consider these facts:
Those are just a few of the unhappy statistics. In a minute, I’ll tell you how to completely turn around those numbers.
But before I do, let me tell you what my methods are NOT:
-
They are not just a collection of vague, general information on attention deficit disorder.
-
They are not a bunch of theoretical nonsense you can’t really use.
-
They are not a series of complicated steps that require special training or talent.
(Don't we have enough of that gobbledy-gook already?!) |
Here's what my methods ARE:
-
A powerful series of practical, simple, ready-to-use techniques you can use today to transform your classroom right now.
-
A handy reference you’ll be using every day. (I’ve cut out all the fluff. My methods contain nothing but pure information.)
-
The strategies I’m revealing are so simple, you will start using them today! |
But please don’t misread their simplicity. Sometimes my only problem in presenting these techniques is convincing teachers that they don’t have to implement fancy, complicated methods based on abstract, psychological theories.
On the contrary — many teachers receive a profound, "A-ha!" experience after trying my methods because they involve making a powerful paradigm shift that instantly transforms the dynamic between teacher and student.
Here’s an example that, while more dramatic than most, is not at all untypical:
Not too long ago, I had a student named Josh who had a severe case of ADHD. He acted impulsively, blurted obscenities, had a history of violence with other students, and even attacked more than one teacher.
Frankly, I didn’t want anything to do with this kid. But my classroom was considered a last resort, and I had no choice in trying to help him.
After only two months using one of my simple strategies (found in Chapter 7 of my book --- more on that in a minute), Josh improved so dramatically that when a brand new student began acting up in my class, Josh actually went right up to him and told him to knock it off.
In his own "Josh" way, he was actually helping me manage my classroom! My worst nightmare became my unwitting teaching assistant!
What was my secret?
I found a way to reach Josh that was so simple and natural that he had no idea I was trying to lead him down a better path. My new-found technique didn’t cost me a dime, took almost no effort, but was so powerful that it worked in countless other problematic situations I came across.
I could give you page after page of stories about students who have been transformed by these techniques, but for now, let me just tell you that I’ve taught children considered to be the poster children of ADHD, including a student that NO one thought had a chance at any kind of success because he was on probation for attempted murder.
I also taught a girl named Mary who wouldn’t even speak because she was so horribly neglected by parents who had left her alone in a closet for months at a time.
The good news is that I was able to get through to each and every one of them using these techniques, and, most importantly, they all graduated from high school.
Your problem students may not be so dramatically challenged. But I know you’ll agree that even just ONE problem student who exhibits ADHD symptoms can easily disrupt your lesson and ruin your day.
And now you can benefit from my experience, because I have made it my mission to share this invaluable information with others.
In fact, here’s the secret I promised earlier. Actually, as a bonus to show you how passionately I feel about this subject, I’m going to give you FOUR.

Even if you never read my book or
my free 5-part report, do these four things
with your ADHD students and you will see
dramatic improvements almost immediately:
1. Find Out What Your ADHD Student Loves And Figure Out A Way To Involve That In His School Day. (In Chapter 8, I give you an absurdly easy way to do this on the first day of school.)
2. "Listen" To Your Students’ Misbehavior. Student misbehavior isn't just an annoying disruption --- it's a secret message the student is (unwittingly) trying to convey to you. And usually that message can be boiled down to two words: "Reach me." On page 45, I give you a way to do exactly that --- a method that is so effortless, effective and simple, you’re going to slap your forehead and wonder why you didn’t think of it first!
3. Get Your ADHD Students To Like You. I’m not talking about a loosey-goosey approach in which you undercut your authority by becoming their "friend." I’m talking about winning the respect from your student in such a likeable way that he then becomes comfortable letting his guard down and now is on "your side." You’ll be astonished what this technique alone will do, and you might even become a hero to him in the process. My book gives you the exact approach for doing this.
4. Stop Controlling And Start Coaching. Change your style of thinking from a controlling, adversarial mode to something more like coaching. You almost want to think of yourself as a personal trainer for these kids. The typical teacher is thinking, "I need to establish control, and the student needs to follow me and do what they’re told." And that works just fine for regular students. But it’s a whole different ball game with ADHD kids. |
Okay, let me let you in on one more bonus secret. It's this:
Most underachieving ADHD kids want to turn around . . . even if they might not act like it.
How do I know this? Because I was an ADHD kid myself --- and I know what works and what rings false with these kids. As a high school teacher in San Diego with a master’s degree, I am living proof that ADHD kids can succeed.
Here is an email I received recently . . .

"Thanks for your brilliant book. . . . All I've read are snippets so far, and I can already tell that the next thirty years until retirement are going to be significantly easier and more rewarding thanks to you. How is it that your common sense wasn't common to anyone else?"

Here’s how I can help you handle your highly distractible student and make you fall in love with your job all over again, starting right now . . .
I’ve just finished a new book and DVD video called "The ADHD Solution for Teachers: How To Turn Any Disruptive Child Into Your Best Student" that outlines in step-by-step detail all the most effective strategies I’ve developed over my 11 years of specialized teaching. |
