Overcoming Adhd


Book Description

''Can children and adults with ADD and ADHD overcome their difficulties without pills? The answer is absolutely Yes' for the vast majority.... Attention involves taking in sights and sounds and touch; it involves processing information; it involves planning and executing actions based on this information. If you can learn to do these things, as children we've treated have done, you can pretty well pay attention. It's not just about sitting still.'' Overcoming ADHD applies Dr. Stanley I. Greenspan's internationally admired developmental approach to this very common disorder. In his distinctive and original view, ADHD is not a single problem, but rather a set of common symptoms that arise from several different sensory, motor, and self-regulation problems. As in his research and in his practice, Dr. Greenspan emphasizes the role of emotions in the development of the nervous system, seeking the root of the condition and rebuilding the foundations of healthy development. Overcoming ADHD steers away from the pitfalls of labeling, or of simply stamping out symptoms with medication, and demonstrates how children can confidently learn to engage with others, attend to what they see and hear, and maintain their focus on the problems at hand. Dr. Greenspan's belief in the growth and individual potential of each child shines Jacket design by Georgia A. Feldman through this indispensable work.

In this fully revised and updated edition, Dr. Armstrong shows readers how to address the underlying causes of a child's attention and behavior problems in order to help their children implement positive changes in their lives. The rate of ADHD diagnosis has increased sharply, along with the prescription of medications to treat it. Now needed more than ever, this book includes fifty-one new non-drug strategies to help children overcome attention and behavior problems, as well as updates to the original fifty proven strategies.
