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.

Understanding Adhd by Dr Christopher Green & Dr Kit Chee.

THIS BOOK HAS TOLD ME MORE ABOUT MY SON IN THE FEW HOURS IT TOOK TO READ, COVER TO COVER! YES ITS THAT GOOD! THAN I HAVE LEARNT ABOUT MYSELF IN MY 37 YEARS.

THIS BOOK HAS SHOWN ME THAT ADHD IS THE BIG FLY IN MY OINTMENT, AND WHY I AM WHAT I AM, BUT ALSO THAT ADHD CAN BE AN ASSET WITHOUT LIMITS.

Read it yourself, then give it to your wife, your parents, her perents, your childs teacher :- then re-read it untill it falls to bits, Then buy another copy.

Excellent Resource! 28 Mar 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I found this book to be a comprehensive and extremely helpful resource for parents and teachers of children with ADHD. As a Learning Consultant in a public school I have lent this book to many parents. It provides practical ideas on how to motivate, discipline, encourage, and manage children with ADHD. If you are a parent or teacher of children with ADHD I believe this to be one of the most helpful books on the topics.

A Must Read for Parents with an ADHD child 27 July 2003
By Teresa D Hopkins - Published on Amazon.com
Format: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! 26 April 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format: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!
