To medicate or not to medicate? This is the question that many parents and teachers face dealing with their hyperactive children with difficulties maintaining attention and focus. Turbo Charged Childhood was written to provide answers and encouragement to parents and teachers dealing with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive children) children without medicating them (or at least minimizing medications).
Price: $18.90 (includes tax and shipping)
Target audience: Parents and teachers who are dealing with ADHD children. Parents/Teachers who look for alternatives to medicine are interested and should read this book. Groups such as homeschool parents, private school teachers, and advocacy groups for children with special needs have been primary readers of this book to date. Parents / teachers who are wed to medical interventions, i.e., “well my doctor says medication is the only proven…” tend to be somewhat rejecting of the concepts presented in this book.
Drawing from over 27 years of clinical psychology experience, Dr. Thomas writes this book to parents who are raising children battling attention disorders. It is a must read for parents faced with the decision with medicating their ADHD child, as well as, those who are already using medication to address issues of attention and hyperactivity. Dr. Thomas provides insights about behavioral intervention, as well as, his more recent experiences using nutritional supplements to enhance mental and behavioral functioning with attention deficit children.
While Dr. Thomas insists that he is not opposed to using medication with ADHD children, he firmly believes that Americans are way too quick to medicate children. This book offers simple solutions for addressing issues related to attention deficit disorders. Turbo Charged Childhood will offer both humor and practical interventions that are easy to apply and offer compassionate hope.
