From distinguished researcher/clinician Russell A. Barkley, this treasured parent resource gives you the science-based information you need about attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and its treatment. It also presents a proven eight-step behavior management plan specifically designed for 6- to 18-year-olds with ADHD. Offering encouragement, guidance, and loads of practical tips, Dr. Barkley helps you:

- Make sense of your child's symptoms. - Get an accurate diagnosis. - Work with school and health care professionals to get needed support. - Learn parenting techniques that promote better behavior. - Strengthen your child's academic and social skills. - Use rewards and incentives effectively. - Restore harmony at home.

Updated throughout with current research and resources, this guide includes the latest facts about medications and about what causes (and doesn't cause) ADHD.
