9781583332337: The ADHD Book: Answers to Parents' Most Pressing Questions

Synopsis

Many experts say that conservatively well over six million children have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. With the mounting pressure placed on parents to pursue a diagnosis and medicate hyperactive children the urgency of life-changing decisions can weigh heavily on the whole family. Conflicting advice bombards parents from all sides - often leaving families more confused and anxious than before. THE AD/HD BOOK seeks to quell fears and rationally addresses nearly one hundred common questions and concerns to help parents make sense of the information chaos. Beth Ann Hill herself a mother and teacher of AD/HD children clearly explains the basics of AD/HD and lays out its complexities. She logically takes parents through symptoms diagnoses and tests medication a treatment strategy designed to combine medical treatment and special parenting techniques to break through problem behaviours.
