Summary: Great Information For Parents With an ADHD Child
Review: I have over 100 books on this subject and try read anything that will help my ADHD son. The old saying an informed consumer comes true with this disease. You are your child's own best advocate.
Within this book I found some very helpful information I have not read before particularly with respect to diet and protein.
The book offers some wonderful checklists for medication monitoring as well as guideline lists for 504 plans.
It is written in clear concise language. I can tell you it has become a bible in my library of ADHD books.
Kudos Dr. Monastra for putting some new light and useful information on this disease!

Summary: A superb supplementary resource
Review: Professional clinical psychologist Vincent Monastra presents Parenting Children with ADHD: 10 Lessons That Medicine Cannot Teach, a guide drawn from his years of experience evaluating and treating thousands of children and teens with ADHD. Chapters address simple basic problems and guidelines, including the importance of a lesson plan, how to teach children to manage their anger, why nutrition is critical and why yelling rarely solves anything. Written in plain terms, Parenting Children with ADHD is a superb supplementary resource for lay people, and a "must-read" for anyone charged with raising, giving care to or instructing an ADHD youth.
