You & Your ADD Child: Practical Strategies for Coping with Everyday Problems

by Ian Wallace

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) can explain to parents why a child is lazy, bored, restless, lethargic, unmotivated, vague, disorganized, has trouble making friends or is suffering any number of associated problems. This work helps parents understand and deal with their child once the diagnosis has been made and drug therapy has commenced. It explains the complexities of the ADD condition and why traditional methods of behavioural therapy do not work with the ADD child. It introduces parents to new strategies that can help them and their children cope with this frustrating condition.

[Rochelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book had really great strategies in it to help parents deal with ADHD behaviour - the best I've come across so far. It was published in 1996, but doesn't feel too outdated, though I think an updated-revised edition would be perfect because this book was hard to get my hands on.
I would recommend it to all parents with a behaviour challenging child. It was full of excellent advice, Australian advice, which is important since a lot of books available are from over seas, and you can tell Ian Wallace really cares about these kids and wants to help them.
