In this book, Dr. Barkley explains what research reveals about the nature of ADHD, its causes, and treatment strategies. Described are the problems that children with the disorder typically face as they grow from toddlerhood through adolescence, and associated challenges facing the whole family. Drawing on decades of clinical work and research, the book provides suggestions for improving children's behavior and school performance, enhancing their self-esteem, and restoring harmony to the home.
