ADHD children have problems concentrating, completing home and school assignments, and controlling impulsivity. Moreover, these youngsters have a poor self-concept and are often depressed, anxious, and easily frustrated. A Comprehensive Guide for Parenting the ADHD Child provides parents, educators, and mental health professionals with a combination of research-based, field-tested strategies that can be used to help them to overcome these difficulties. The research shows that medication combined with behavioral, cognitive, and educational methods is the most effective approach in treating ADHD. It is the non-medication approaches that are often overlooked or underutilized, however. The programs presented in this book are designed to train the child to concentrate, to complete assignments, and to plan ahead. It is the application of these psychologically and educationally based interventions that teach ADHD children to gain the self-control and confidence needed to face the many challenges confronting them.

Superb,
This review is from: A Comprehensive Guide for Parenting the ADHD Child (Paperback)
Superb book. This is the bible of ADHD books. I have 4 kids, 2 with ADHD (1 is an extremely serious case). Having 4 kids is tough enough (considering I am a single father with full custody and no contact with the 2 mothers), but lay that on top of the fact that I have 2 kids with ADHD, and there were times I thought of giving up. I have tried doctors, group sessions, special schooling, home videos, but nothing has worked. This book has a very sensible model for dealing with what sometimes seems like an impossible task, AND it is simple to execute. The process or methods are not life-altering, just smart, sensible habits that have enabled me to manage what previously seemed like a mis-managable situation.
