Practical advice for parents from parents, and proven techniques for raising hyperactive children without losing your temper.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Colleen Alexander-Roberts is the Author of The Essential Adoption Handbook and a freelance writer whose family faces the daily challenges of ADHD. A member of Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorders (C.H.A.D.D.) and the Attention Deficit Disorder Association (A.D.D.A.), Colleen lives in Swanson, Ohio with her husband and their children.
This well-written book provides guidelines, suggestions, and advice to help parents interact with their children who have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Although opening chapters define the ADHD symptoms and resources for the parent, the major focus is on preventing (or managing) misbehavior, working with teachers, and providing a stable and nurturing family atmosphere for the family of the ADHD child-both parents and siblings. Many of the recommendations and tips come from other parents as well as pediatricians, counselors, and teachers. Alexander-Roberts wisely stresses that every ADHD child reacts differently and that many techniques may be needed to parent the child. An appendix lists further reading and helpful support organizations. Though numerous books have been written on ADHD in recent years, such as The Hyperactive Child Book (LJ 3/1/93) and A Parent's Guide to Attention Deficit Disorders (LJ 10/1/91), this work stands out as a family management guide. Highly recommended for parenting collections in all public libraries.
