Product Description

Attention deficit disorder is the new term for what was once called hyperactivity. An increasing number of children are diagnosed each year, partly because doctors and child specialists are becoming more aware of the problem, and partly because the symptoms are linked to additives in food. This is a guide for parents to the symptoms, how to tell if it is really attention deficit disorder, treatments, including medication, which can involve powerful drugs, and self-help measures such as dietary approaches. There are tips on coping on a day-to-day basis with a hyperactive child, pointers to get the best advice available, and advice on handling the effects on everyday life and other children.
