About this title

Review:

"While nothing about ADHD is easy, this book is well-structured and surprisingly easy to understand . . . as it walks parents through the difficult process of defining the disorder and its various subtypes. Parents will appreciate the abundant charts, myth-busting sidebars, case studies, parenting strategies, and clarifying message: diagnosing and effectively treating ADHD relies on the dedicated, long-term teamwork among a child's parents, teachers, mental health professionals, and physicians." "--Publishers Weekly" on the first edition
