Description
Understanding ADHD: A Parent's Guide to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Children This practical guide helps parents, teachers, and health professionals understand Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a condition affecting up to 1 in 10 children in the UK. The book dispels myths and provides a clear overview of the condition, its causes, behaviours, and treatments. You'll find well-tried strategies to address common problems such as inattention, underachievement, and impulsiveness, including hints to improve reading, writing, and language skills, and ways to boost self-esteem. The book also covers the latest research and provides guidance on making a diagnosis, medication, and alternative therapies. By working with teachers and health professionals, parents can give their child the best possible chance of entering adulthood with self-confidence, life skills, and secure family relationships.
