This book gives a good overview of ADHD and how it can impact on day to day life. It provides a good insight into aspects of self regulation and what that means.
Following the overview, the book goes on to provide suggestions as to how to support a child by considering diet and exercise. The book references research that is starting to show that exercise has positive impact on the brain but be wary of this as samples used are quite small and are linked to the positive impact of excercise on people without ADHD.
A lot of suggestions are similar to those that have been made before. However it is interesting to read about the degree of self regulation and how it impacts on a person with ADHD's future.

As a mother of a son with ADHD, I am familiar with the day to day struggles that kids with this difference face. We've been dealing with it for many years and will keep dealing with it for the rest of my son's life. For a lot of families that have children with ADHD, they don't have a lot of time on their hands to read endless books about this disorder. This book was so full of heavy material that I felt bogged down and had a hard time getting to the stuff that I really wanted to learn. I'm sure all the scientific chapters would benefit someone who is just starting to research about ADHD, but I found that it just went on and on about things that I already knew. Maybe if this book was a little more lighthearted and upbeat, it would have been a great read for me.

You don't realize how necessary books like these are until you're the parent of a child with ADHD, and you are desperately reading up on everything you can get your hands on, to try and help your child. I really liked how he pointed the differences of ADHD in boys as opposed to girls. This is a definitely a book I will be purchasing and implementing regularly.
