Product Description
Product Description
Albert Einstein had it. Winston Churchill had it.
Is your child also suffering from A.D.H.D.?
Though medical science has known about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder for almost one hundred years, for most of us A.D.H.D. remains a new and baffling condition. Now, at last, here is a clear and comprehensive guide to this common disorder.
As renowned pediatrician Dr. Christopher Green explains, A.D.H.D. is actually a cluster of behaviors--including inattentiveness, impulsiveness, and overactivity--that causes children (mostly boys) to underachieve at school and behave poorly at home despite high intelligence and quality parenting. Understanding A.D.H.D. covers every aspect of the disorder, from diagnosis to treatment. Inside you'll discover
¸ How to tell if a child has A.D.H.D.
¸ Practical solutions to common behavior problems at home and school
¸ When and how to medicate your child
¸ The best sports for someone with A.D.H.D.
¸ Measures to take for building self-esteem
And much more!
Informative, reassuring, and up-to-date, Understanding A.D.H.D. is an invaluable resource for parents, teachers, and health professionals.

Best book on ADHD,
By
This review is from: Understanding ADHD: The Definitive Guide to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (Paperback)
This book is the best book on ADHD that I have seen (and I have read several of them). Its easy to read and tells you everything you need to know about ADHD, from basic stuff to advanced knowledge. It explores ADHD from every aspect and offers solutions and speculations.I highly recommend it. This is a life saver for any ADHD parent and makes you realize that having a child with ADHD doesnt have to mean the end of the world. With this book in hand you have everything you need to face this challenge.

A Must Read for Parents with an ADHD child,
By Teresa D Hopkins (Lincoln, RI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding ADHD: The Definitive Guide to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (Paperback)
I have read many books about ADHD since my child was diagnosed a few months ago. This is by far the best book I've have read about the subject. Not only is it comprehensive about medications and causes, it addresses real behavior problems with practicality and humor. I read the whole book in one night, and came out of it with a new understanding of my son. It's comforting to know he's not the only one "acting like this". I highly recommend it to anyone working with an ADHD child or adult.

This book changed my life!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding ADHD: The Definitive Guide to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (Paperback)
The paediatrician who eventually diagnosed my son recommended this book to me. I read it straight through, in one sitting, cried, laughed and came out the other end with a totally different view of my son. He was 10 and regularly said he wanted to kill himself. All his teachers just said he was badly behaved and disruptive but I knew there was something wrong. A year later and on Ritalin he is a different child. I have now bought at least 12 copies of this book (it has a different name here in England) to give to everyone who has any contact with an ADHD child. If you only buy one book, buy this one. Even my teenage daughters, who had no sympathy for their younger brother have read this and actually enjoyed it!
