Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a growing problem among children today (affecting 5% of school-age children). Unable to sit still, concentrate on a task or pay attention they become increasingly disruptive, and the sense of frustration many children feel as a result can lead to voilence. ADHD has a disastrous effect on a child\'s ability to learn, play with others and lead a normal life.

Drawing on a wealth of experience of working with emotionally fragile children Alan Train sets out a programme for parents and teachers that will help the child in a positive and lasting way. Innovative in it\'s approach, and considering the needs of adults looking after the child, this sympathetic and understanding book revolutionises the treatment of difficult children, offering an alternative to the widespread use of medication.

Alan Train advocates treatment aimed at enabling a child with ADHD to develop techniques of self-control that will allow him or her to cope and that can be refined through to adulthood.

Alan Train was for many years the headmaster of a school for children with emotional problems, learning difficulties or behavioural problems and currently works for a charity which supports parents under stress. He was shortlisted for the NASEN Prize for his first book, Helping The Aggresive Child, and also written Children Behaving Badly and The Bullying Problem.
