The A.D.D. Book: New Understandings, New Approaches to Parenting Your Child

Author: William Sears

The bestselling author of The Baby Book joins forces with an A.D.D. expert and offers a unique and encouraging guide for parents of children with attention deficit disorder. Full of real-life case histories, this landmark guide is an indispensable resource for every parent with an A.D.D. child--and one of the only books that focus on the positive side of A.D.D.

Children's Literature

This book is written for parents of children with Attention Deficit Disorder who are looking for a non-drug alternative program. This physiologically based behavior modification program is called EEG biofeedback or neurofeedback. This technique is very technical and involves converting electrical patterns from the brain into images on a video display. The child can watch and listen to these images and use this information to tell if his brain is concentrating or drifting off. The computer will reward you if changes are needed and you do so positively. After practice the individual should be able to do this without the aid of the computer. This book also offers information on a variety of other topics such as strategies for improving behavior, setting up success at home and at school, and nutritional guidelines. Parents with an A.D.D. child can never have enough information at their fingertips. Each parent must decide what is best for his or her child and this book offers another avenue to explore.
