AUTHOR'S NOTE

It is my hope that this book will become a tool for parents, educators, and healthcare professionals to address issues surrounding children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). Once a child is diagnosed with ADHD, a plan of treatment, which may include medication, is prescribed. It important to note that even with proper treatment a child's behavior may improve, but such children are not magically cured. Their energy must be channeled into their talents with understanding to develop a greater sense of self-worth. Trying to change the child's behavior with continued verbal scolding and/or physical punishment can be mentally detrimental to the child and follow them into adulthood. Children with ADHD can become well-adjusted adults with a bright future when given a little help and compassion.
