ADHD Without Drugs - A Guide to the Natural Care of Children with ADHD by Sanford Newmark, MD

Read this one. Really, don't just skim it. You'll have a better understanding about what ADHD really is, when it can be managed without drugs, and how to go about changing your child's diet - reasonably, gently, without going into extremes. You'll find out about a few blood tests that are really important, and suggestions regarding several relevant holistic approaches. There's an important chapter about parenting, which if you take to mind is likely to lessen the conflicts and stress at home. 


What I'd love to see in a future edition: a segment on the importance of supporting a child's neurodevelopment - gently, respectfully, playfully. Yes, I think HANDLE is very compatible with Dr. Newmark's work.
