Gary Null The Drugging of Our Children

Gary Null examines the increasingly common practice of prescribing psychotropic drugs for children - including preschoolers as young as age 2 to 4 - who have been diagnosed with ADD, or ADHD.

Why does ADD only exist in the U.S. and not in Scandinavia, not in The Netherlands, not in France, not in Fiji, and not in Japan? A disease that respects geographic borders? Where has it come from all of a sudden, to go from nothing to being a household word in just a few short years?"

AD/HD is one of the most common childhood developmental behavioral disorders. It affects up to 5-7% of the school age population and accounts for the largest proportion of children referred to mental health programs in this country.

AD/HD can be managed through a combination of medical and behavioral treatment modalities.

AD/HD is a developmental disorder and involves five primary problems in a childs ability to control behavior:
  • Impulse Control or Inhibition
  • Difficulty Sustaining Attention
  • Excessive Activity
  • Difficulty Following Rules and Instructions
  • Excessive Variability in their Responses to Situations

I found this site that has basic and an adolescent 8 session training sessions to help parents develop child behavior management skills.
