Product Description
Kids with ADHD need to be loved and shown how to become successful adults. Unfortunately, their lack of attention and restlessness often get in the way. Parents of these kids try so hard to stay connected and remain patient in the face of daily frustration. However, it is an incredible challenge to remain positive and involved when your child does not respond to the kinds of strategies that work for other children. Without guidance and systematic treatment, these bright, inquisitive children are unlikely to graduate from high school, are more prone to use illegal drugs, and struggle to maintain employment as adults. Parenting Children with ADHD: Lessons That Medicine Cannot Teach gives parents a framework for building a successful parenting program at home. Drawing from his experiences in evaluating and treating thousands of children and teens with ADHD, Vincent Monastra presents a series of ten lessons that are essential for promoting the success of kids with ADHD. In simple language, Monastra explains the causes of ADHD and how nutrition, medication and certain therapeutic procedures can improve attention, concentration, and behavioral control. Recognizing the importance of school success, Monastra also reviews the educational rights of children with ADHD and outlines a process for working with school districts to get your child the help they need. Beyond this foundation, Monastra describes non-confrontational ways to teach your child essential life skills like organization, problem-solving, and emotional control. Through guiding principles like "Work for Play" and "Time Stands Still", Monastra ends the struggle for control and helps children learn that in life you need to "earn your play" and apologise and "make amends" when you do something that hurts another person (or makes their life more difficult). |

What a relief! by A. Crain (Nc)  5 Stars
September 19, 2009
I have two sons with add/ADHD and was frustrated that the doctors didn't seem to answer all my concerns. This book has helped me understand more and feel more comfortable in the treatment course we have taken. We have changed our kids diet and are implementing some stratagies already. This book is a must have!!!

Parent of ADHD child by Bookworm (USA) 5 Stars
June 18, 2009
This book was one of the most usefull books I have ever purchased about ADHD. It helped me in so many ways . Taught me tips on how to deal with my son, gave me example letters that I could use to write to my sons school in order to get him in an IEP, Explained the difference between different programs in schools and which would best suit my child, taught me about what foods to avoid and a number of different things. It is very easy to read and understand. It is full of charts, graphs and checklists for you to follow your childs progress such as " Medication Tolerance Checklist", "Medication Response Chart", "FACT checklist for teachers", "Problem Worksheet" and a few others.
I keep this book with me in my purse. I really recommend it.

Start Here First by LC08 5 Stars
May 01, 2009
With a son newly diagnosed, I've bought and read just about anything I can on ADHD. This book was clearly the best source of information to help me figure out what to do for him. The questions I was struggling to find answers to were all addressed in this book. It gave ideas and thoughts both at home and in the school. Before you read any others, start here! Highly recommended.
