Synopsis

Every year, one in twenty Australian children is diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). ADD can explain why a child is over-active, bored, lazy, constantly demanding, argumentative, unmotivated, disorganised, without friends and experiencing learning difficulties. But does this diagnosis mean that your child is doomed to a lifetime of failure 'NO!' says child psychologist Ian Wallace. In this new book he introduces troubled parents to a variety of practical strategies, designed specifically for ADD, that can help them and their children manage everyday problems. Ian even tackles the difficult problems of low self-esteem, poor social skills, defiance, school issues, aggression and sibling rivalry.

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) can explain to parents why a child is lazy, bored, restless, lethargic, unmotivated, vague, disorganized, has trouble making friends or is suffering any number of associated problems. This work helps parents understand and deal with their child once the diagnosis has been made and drug therapy has commenced.

It introduces parents to new strategies that can help them and their children cope with this frustrating condition.
