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.
