Description
Does toxic pollution cause attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? What about screen use? Are alternative treatments worth exploring? Can dietary changes help? This book explores exciting treatment advances with tremendous promise for improving behavior in kids with ADHD. Leading researcher Joel T. Nigg distinguishes unsupported, even dangerous approaches from bona fide breakthroughs grounded in the new science of epigenetics—how genes and the environment interact. Parents learn which lifestyle changes have been proven to support children's attention and self-control by positively influencing the developing brain. The book is packed with clear information and specific ways to maximize the positive effects of healthy nutrition, exercise, and sleep, and minimize the damage from stress and other known risk factors. Vivid stories illustrate how to integrate Dr. Nigg's practical suggestions into daily life—and how they can help kids succeed.

Advance Praise
"Dr. Nigg presents a new understanding of ADHD that reveals how both genes and environment shape the disorder. He reviews the pros and cons of diet, exercise, and other novel treatments, helping you choose from among a wide range of options for your child. Misinformation about ADHD abounds--this book separates facts from fiction."—Stephen V. Faraone, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and of Neuroscience and Physiology, State University of New York Upstate Medical University
"How can you stay abreast of the rapidly growing research base on ADHD and its treatment, when even clinical professionals can't keep up? Simple—read this book! Dr. Nigg is a foremost clinical scientist with a talent for making complex ideas digestible. He explains what is currently known about the causes of ADHD, and, more important, offers numerous insights and recommendations for how to find the best treatment for your unique child." —Russell A. Barkley, PhD, ABPP, ABCN, author of Taking Charge of ADHD, Third Edition

In a time of conflicting claims and information overload, parents searching for clear information based on science and clinical experience can breathe a sigh of relief. This is a one-stop text that will offer practical suggestions and resources for parents of children struggling with ADHD. In fact, anyone working with children will learn that proper sleep hygiene, adequate exercise, healthy diet, and limited screen time can benefit any family. Another key take away for me was that parents acknowledge stress in the family and seek professional help to receive much needed support and to develop healthy routines. There is no quick fix or any one answer in dealing with ADHD, but thanks to Dr. Nigg, there is a science-based place to start. (Thanks to Netgalley for access to an e-ARC.) (less)
