As a child who was on Ritalin herself and had it work out well, I don't say this lightly. Every child is different and every parent will choose a different treatment route for their child, but reading as much as possible and being as educated as possible before making that decision gives some peace of mind.

This book is very helpful and positive direction

I'm in agreement with Dr. Papa, drugging our kids to control their behavior is missing the bigger picture. Changing the diet of my kids made a huge difference in their behavior. The books makes this very easy. I would recommend this book to anyone who is faced with behavioral problems with their kids.
