Parents play a variety of roles in their child's life, as confidante, teacher, friend, disciplinarian, and manager, and for parents of children with ADHD it is essential for these roles to be assumed with consistency and energy 24 hours a day. This book is written by an experienced pediatrician, who has worked with many families in understanding and developing successful interventions and is intended to offer support and guidance for parents and children in dealing with the everyday reality of ADHD. In addition, the author stresses the importance of involving children and students in their own treatment, with the belief that every child or adolescent diagnosed with ADHD can benefit to a significant degree by their own active participation in an appropriate treatment plan.
