Reseña del editor:
There is a child in every classroom that suffers from ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), a physiological condition, often inherited, which leads to underachievement and disruptive behaviour. As many as 10% of the population, particularly boys, suffer from ADD to some degree. Often classed as hyperactive, but with above average intelligence, sufferers can be inattentive, clumsy, may lose things, rarely finish a task, often have poor short-term memory and can be easily distracted. They may also have specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia. ADD can have a devastating effect on families - and in the classroom. Talented children become labelled as 'difficult' and may be socially isolated. But it's not all bad news. Churchill, Einstein and many other influential people ADD in common. Handled effectively, the characteristics can enhance creativity and success. This highly accessible, reassuring and practical book is essential for all parents with a 'problem' child, or who fear that in spite of careful parenting, they are 'doing something wrong'. The authors explain clearly what ADD IS, as well as what is not. The treatments are assessed - medical, dietary and psychological - providing practical options for coping successfully with ADD.
