This is a guide for parents to the symptoms, how to tell if it is really attention deficit disorder, treatments, including medication, which can involve powerful drugs, and self-help measures such as dietary approaches. There are tips on coping on a day-to-day basis with a hyperactive child, pointers to get the best advice available, and advice on handling the effects on everyday life and other children.
