As renowned pediatrician Dr. Christopher Green explains, A.D.H.D. is actually a cluster of behaviors -- including inattentiveness, impulsiveness, and overactivity -- that causes children (mostly boys) to underachieve at school and behave poorly at home despite high intelligence and quality parenting. "Understanding A.D.H.D". covers every aspect of this disorder, from diagnosis to treatment, including how to tell if a child has A.D.H.D; practical solutions to common behavior problems; when and how to medicate your child; the best sports for someone with A.D.H.D; and measures to take for building self-esteem.

Informative, reassuring, and up-to-date, "Understanding A.D.H.D". is an invaluable resource for parents, teachers, and health professionals.
