One of the best books I've read on the subject
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
As the mother of a "hyperactive" child and founder of the first parent support group for the parents of such children in Germany, I can fully endorse this book. To anyone who suspects that their child suffers from AD/HD, this book is an absolute must. It not only gives information on the symptoms of the syndrom, info on medicative treatments, but also valuable tips on structuring.
