Almost all children have times when their behavior veers out of control. They may speed about in constant motion, make noise nonstop, refuse to wait their turn, and crash into everything around them. At other times they may drift as if in a daydream, unable to pay attention or finish what they start. However, for some children, these kinds of behaviors are not just an occasional problem.

More Description
Almost all children have times when their behavior veers out of control. They may speed about in constant motion, make noise nonstop, refuse to wait their turn, and crash into everything around them. At other times they may drift as if in a daydream, unable to pay attention or finish what they start. However, for some children, these kinds of behaviors are not just an occasional problem. Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have behavior problems that are so frequent and severe that they interfere with their ability to live normal lives.
This book, for children age 6-18 years and their parents, illustrates the personal experience of a child who has attention deficit disorder (with or without hyperactivity) and/or learning disabilities to provide a good understanding of these phenomena and greater awareness of the child's internal world. It teaches how to communicate with one's child without accusations, mutual anger, or frustration. It describes the child's characteristic problems, how he feels and thinks about himself, implications for his academic, emotional, and social functioning, and offers practical instructions for parents, teachers, and children. Share feelings about personal stories with which your child can identify
A unique section features children speaking their minds, intended for young readers and parents together. It presents children's stories of their experiences, a sense of inability to meet expectations, and personal feelings of pain. As the child reads the story and identifies with the feelings and thoughts expressed, parents can discuss with their child, in a supportive and empathic atmosphere, his academic and social problems and possibly better ways of coping.
