The A.D.D. Book: New Understandings, New Approaches to Parenting Your Child

by William Sears

The A.D.D. Book: New Understandings, New Approaches to Parenting Your Child Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An estimated 20 percent of boys and up to 8 percent of girls have attention deficit disorder — a condition marked by distractibility, short attention span, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity. Many physicians routinely prescribe Ritalin, an amphetamine-like drug, to modify the behavior of A.D.D. children. But as Dr. William Sears and child psychologist Lynda Thompson explain, drug therapy is not the only way to approach A.D.D.<P>Drawing on the latest research findings and their own experiences with A.D.D. children, Sears and Thompson show that these kids actually possess certain read advantages: tenacity, energy, creativity, spontaneity, and the ability to hyperfocus. They offer a state-of William the-art self-help approach to A.D.D. that will help parents reduce or eliminate the need for Lynda drugs — including cutting-edge neurofeedback techniques and learning strategies that empower A.D.D. children and teach them how to cope.<P>Full of real-life case histories, this landmark guide is an indispensable resource for every parent with an A.D.D. child — and the only book available that focuses on the positive side of A.D.D.
