When a youngster is diagnosed ADHD, parents often wonder, "What do I tell my child?" This book is the answer. It helps children understand attention-deficit disorder and what they can do to help manage it. Full of charming illustrations, this updated third edition includes four sections:
-
A Checklist About Me
-
Things That Other People Can Do To Help Me
-
Things That I Can Do To Help Myself
-
Special Projects With My Parents
In response to recent research on the safety and efficacy of stimulant drugs in treating ADHD, the third edition explains to young readers how such medications work. Like previous editions, the entire book has a child-centered focus. While most ADHD books concentrate on behaviors that bother adults, this one looks at aspects of ADHD that are troubling to children.
Addressing ADHD from the child's point of view, this book offers practical advice about how to deal with it. Hardcover.
