Book Description
Approximately one in eight children suffer from ADHD in the US and there are indications that these numbers are increasing rapidly. If the current trend continues, over 8 million children in the US alone will be taking drugs for ADHD by the turn of the century. As the numbers affected escalate, so do the fears concerning the prescribed drugs, particularly Ritalin and Dexedrine. For the parents of a child suffering from ADHD, these worries land on top of the exhaustion and confusion caused by the actual illness.
Maggie Jones presents an invaluable book for parents. Hyperactivity: What's the Alternative? provides an authoritative overview of the situation. It explains essential information on the conventional treatments offered and all the effective alternative treatments available. It gives parents practical steps they can take to understand, support and care for themselves and their child, enabling them to move forward in a positive way.
