A Natural Approach to Treating Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Aviva Jill Romm, CPM, AHG and Tracy Romm, Ed.D.

A holistic approach to treating ADHD.

With attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder  (ADHD) becoming one of the most commonly diagnosed (and misdiagnosed) disorders of childhood, and with the prescription of Ritalin and other powerful psychostimulant drugs reaching alarming proportions it is time to take a fresh look at what ADHD is, and what it is not.

In this thoughtful and empowering book, Aviva and Tracy Romm guide parents and educators in taking a more holistic, natural, and effective approach to problems of attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.  They offer insights into the root cause of ADHD and share their inspiring advise on addressing a child's unique needs through nutrition; herbal medicine; and loving, understanding parenting that fosters self-esteem, creativity, confidence, and self-discipline.
