description: The number of children treated with stimulant medications for the condition of ADHD continues to rise. Many parents are interested in a natural approach that offers a comprehensive system to address underlying factors, as opposed to a symptom reduction approach. Medications are not considered a cure all; however, many families are disappointed with results and are recognizing the need to offer other support systems to assist their child to create balance in their lives. This book will allow you dispel the myth that your child must be on stimulant medication, learn a natural system of healing for the condition of ADHD, apply deep healing versus a "quick fix" approach to treating ADHD, explore how diet and nutrition, environmental factors, and a fast-paced lifestyle create ADHD symptoms, utilize behavioral approaches to maintain appropriate behavior, examine the importance of creating a healthy identity in yourself and your child, assess your child's social skills across development, assess your child's risk factors for suicidal thinking and behavior to use in support of professional intervention, teach a mind, body, and spirit model of wellness that will last a life time. Currently there is not a cure for ADHD; however, following the simple natural systems approach as offered by Dr. Steffen can assist you in directing your child's energy toward health and life balance.
