Product Description
Kids with ADHD need to be loved and shown how to become successful adults. Unfortunately, their lack of attention and restlessness often get in the way. Parents of these kids try so hard to stay connected and remain patient in the face of daily frustration. However, it is an incredible challenge to remain positive and involved when your child does not respond to the kinds of strategies that work for other children. Without guidance and systematic treatment, these bright, inquisitive children are unlikely to graduate from high school, are more prone to use illegal drugs, and struggle to maintain employment as adults. Parenting Children with ADHD: Lessons That Medicine Cannot Teach gives parents a framework for building a successful parenting program at home. Drawing from his experiences in evaluating and treating thousands of children and teens with ADHD, Vincent Monastra presents a series of ten lessons that are essential for promoting the success of kids with ADHD. In simple language, Monastra explains the causes of ADHD and how nutrition, medication and certain therapeutic procedures can improve attention, concentration, and behavioral control. Recognizing the importance of school success, Monastra also reviews the educational rights of children with ADHD and outlines a process for working with school districts to get your child the help they need. Beyond this foundation, Monastra describes non-confrontational ways to teach your child essential life skills like organization, problem-solving, and emotional control. Through guiding principles like "Work for Play" and "Time Stands Still", Monastra ends the struggle for control and helps children learn that in life you need to "earn your play" and apologise and "make amends" when you do something that hurts another person (or makes their life more difficult).

The author makes great points and is very informative. The ideas on how to disipline are wonderful and they make a lot of sense. Plus they seem much fairer to a child with ADHD. I would definately recommend this book to any parent or family member of a child with ADHD.

Parenting Children with ADHD
This was the first book I read about children with ADHD. It helped me realize that I'm not the only one out there dealing with difficult behaviors. It was written so the average person could understand and make sense of how to affectivly deal with your child. It also helped equipt me with the tools to approach his teacher and school who had just labled my son as a trouble maker who couldn't stay in his seat. I've realize that this IS a medical condition and that he's not just out to get me and everyone else. In the book it is suggested to focus on the top 5 - 10 behavoirs that bother you the most first, not all of them at once. And "Time Stands Still" does work. Now if the doctor only made house calls.
