ADHD Solution! Overcoming ADHD Without Medication: A Parent and Educator's Guidebook - Paperback and eBook
Online, April 1, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Overcoming ADHD Without Medication: A Parent and Educator's Guidebook was developed to help parents and teachers to have at their fingertips resources by which children who have symptoms of ADHD can be helped without having to resort to medication.
The book is published by the Association for Natural Psychology, a non-profit corporation in New Jersey, USA, and its roots are in the educational field. The book represents the work of special education teachers, school psychologists, and other mental health professionals, reading specialists and others who work daily with children. Many years of research have gone into producing a publication that is accurate, balanced, and which truly provides workable solutions.
While it is focused on ADHD, it also touches on childhood depression and bipolar disorder. Many clinical studies are referred to, and ADHD experts such as Joel Nigg, Ph.D. and Russell Barkley, Ph.D. were consulted. Diet, nutrition and exercise are considered, however, vitamin or other supplements are not focused on in this book, rather, lifestyle changes, developing positive coping skills, and assistance in school and professional and other assistance outside of school are considered.
Some of the questions which are addressed are,
* What is ADHD?
* What are the symptoms?
* What can parents do to help children overcome ADHD?
* How can this be accomplished without medication?
* What drugs are being used for ADHD are they effective?
* What are the side effects? What can educators do to help?

* What can teachers do to provide a classroom environment that can help individual students with special needs such as symptoms of ADHD, to succeed without medication?
These and many more questions are answered in this 96 page book. Concise and practical, it assists both educators and parents to help children to succeed. There is much that parents can do to help children overcome ADHD symptoms, and medication rarely provides a solution.
Through practical measures and lifestyle changes, parents can help children be successful. This book provides many additional resources that can help parents, as well as give ideas for teachers, special education teachers and principals. The methods and ideas described here have been field tested, and do work. Sometimes the results are astounding, with rapid progress in a short period of time.
Included is an extensive bibliography, six-page index, recommended reading and resources section, adhd checklist, and photos.
