The AD/HD book : answers to parents' most pressing questions
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (p. [156]-187) and index.

Beth Ann Hill, herself a mother and educator of AD/HD children, clearly explains the basics of AD/HD and lays out its complexities. She logically takes parents from symptoms, diagnoses and tests, medication, a treatment strategy designed to combine medical treatment, and special parenting techniques to break through problem behaviors. Whether readers browse through the question-and-answer format or read from start to finish, they will come to: understand the biological causes of AD/HD, get the facts on prescription drugs, cope with AD/HD's emotional impact on family and friends, find comfort in real-life examples of challenges and their solutions. With the help of pediatric AD/HD specialist Dr. James Van Haren, Hill also develops unique strategies for teaching social and coping skills to children-and for having fun in the process. She includes worksheets, charts, daily planners, and more to help kids grow into adulthood with the tools to lead successful and productive lives.
