Evan, five years old, hardly stands, much less sits, still for more than a few moments. Jessie is eight...she never finishes anything on time...she's a dreamer. Cal is fifteen...he's so impulsive that his parents worry he'll try drugs on a whim. Do these kids remind you of your own children? ADHD, the most talked-about childhood developmental disorder, disrupts a child's life and often results in low self-esteem, poor grades, and even social and emotional problems. But does YOUR child have ADHD? All children display many of the behaviors associated with ADHD at some point, but if six or more of the symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity are present and have persisted at least six months, this book offers a step by step program to help parents change these behaviors at home. This is a practical program for changing your child's behavior with or without medication.
