THE MYTH OF THE ADHD CHILD, REVISED EDITION 101 Ways to Improve Your Child's Behavior and Attention Span Without Drugs, Labels, or Coercion

Educator Thomas Armstrong has updated his solution-oriented book, which argues that children are continually misdiagnosed with ADHD as a way to make them conform to expectations. Narrator Michael Puttonen uses a conversational style and steady pace to deliver the wealth of information supplied by the author. In a warm voice Puttonen attempts to dispel the negativity surrounding ADHD behavior and advances the idea that doctors are too quick to medicate. Listeners will hear why more time should be spent monitoring medications and putting effort into nonmedical solutions. Puttonen lists all 101 of Armstrong's strategies, which include nutritional, emotional, physical, and educational interventions. Each recommendation is accompanied by suggested reading for more information. M.I.C. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2023]
