Add-adhd And Learning Disabilities_alternative Therapies And The Treatment Of Add-adhd And Ld: How To Deal With Add Without Medication, (Paperback)

It is very common for children with ADD/ADHD to be treated with medication. However, medication doesn't work for everyone and there are many concerning side effects of medications as well. In this book, the authors present their drug-free solution. In addition to detailing an eight-month exercise program, illustrated with photographs, the authors offer ways to work around the problem in school, at home, during sports activities, and in public settings. This revised and updated edition also includes findings from the authors' most recent studies; provides the latest information on negative side effects of many drugs used to treat ADD/ADHD and LD; and addresses potentially harmful current practices in baby care--such as the use of walkers and baby swings, and keeping babies on their backs nearly all the time--and their surprising roles in the development of ADD/ADHD and LD behaviors.
