388.2/LAR | | Power Parenting for Children with ADD/ADHD
by Grad L. Flick
This book is systematically laid out, with a good balance between background material and concrete suggestions. Areas of parental and teacher concern are followed by possible management programs. The focus of the book is on behavioral determinants and techniques. The subtitle of the book, "A Practical Guide for Managing Difficult Behaviors" underscores the author's approach. There is one chapter, however, where other interventions, such as diet, counseling, medications, and educational training, are discussed.
