About This Book

The mother of a hyperactive child, a pediatrician, and a child psychologist offer a practical, up-to-date guide to treating, educating, and living with a child with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Our Review

This essential guide to attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder delivers practical strategies from three distinct expert perspectives: a mother who's navigated the daily realities, a pediatrician providing medical insight, and a child psychologist offering behavioral approaches. The collaboration creates a comprehensive resource that addresses both clinical management and the emotional challenges families face, moving beyond diagnosis to actionable solutions for home and school environments.

What sets this ADHD resource apart is its balanced integration of professional expertise with lived experience, offering validation for parents who often feel isolated in their struggles. Families seeking concrete methods for behavior management, educational advocacy, and medication decisions will find particularly valuable guidance here. The multi-disciplinary approach ensures readers receive both the scientific understanding and the compassionate support needed to help their child thrive despite hyperactivity challenges.
