Life with a child with attention deficit disorder (ADD) or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be tough, but take it from one who's been there: It can also be full of all the love, humor, and light that a parent might hope for. In this gentle, lighthearted, down-to-earth book, David Spohn uses his own experiences to help others make it through the stresses and chaos and heartbreak that raising a child with ADD/ADHD can entail-and to help them come through whole and happy and sane. From the new vocabulary and friends who come along with a diagnosis of ADD/ADHD, to questions touching on everything from Ritalin to sibling rivalry to schooling to going out in public, Life on the Edge offers honest, practical, caring support-and a healthy dose of good humor-for parents of children with ADD/ADHD.
Art director of Hazelden Information and Educational Services and the author and illustrator of four children's books, David Spohn is the father of a child with attention deficit disorder.
