Although Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD) affect between 3 to 5 percent of school-age kids, they remain the most misunderstood problems facing young children today.

Finally, ADD/ADHD Drug Free gives frustrated parents a long-awaited natural alternative. The first book to feature activities for children that will help them cope with their disorder by strengthening brain functioning, this life-changing guide shows parents, teachers and counsellors how they can improve learning and behaviour effectively and without medication. Timely and thoroughly researched, this is the one guide that will help thousands of children become more focused, more attentive, and more successful in school and in life, without jeopardising their health.
