Parenting Children With ADHD

10 Lessons That Medicine Cannot Teach

Over the past thirty years, Dr. Monastra has treated more than 15,000 clients who have ADHD. In this indispensable book he shares the knowledge he has gained.

Children with ADHD struggle so much with inattention or hyperactivity and impulsivity that they have trouble succeeding at home, at school, with friends, or on the playing field. Arranged in a series of sequential lessons to be taken "one at a time," beginning with the causes of ADHD and the most common medical treatments.

Engaging and straightforward, the book is directed at parents of children who have, or might have, ADHD. Dr. Monastra discusses all the relevant issues for parents, including psychological treatment, diet, educational laws, and practical coping strategies for both parents and children. Parenting Children With ADHD, now in its second edition, shows how you can become your child's best advocate, helping to improve attention, behavioral control, and social skills.

Updates to this edition include information on new diagnostic tests, medications, and treatments; tips to help your school district create a safe for your child; and a new chapter on teaching life values, such as generosity and kindness.
