Stevens is a mother and highly educated professional who is now carrying out research at Purdue University on the critically important role of essential fatty acids on children with ADHD.

In this book she gives parents and professionals a step-by-step approach for helping children. In my opinion, this book will be a bestselling book for parents in the first decade of the 21st Century.

Solving the puzzle  Oct 27, 2000
Laura Stevens provides a much needed road map for parents seeking help for their children with ADHD. By providing step-by-step instructions, sound nutritional knowledge, excellent examples, problem-specific narratives, and good, common sense day-to-day practices (i.e.-recipes), she is eliminating the frustration in the search for answers for current and future parents of children with ADHD. This book provides the type of aid that only could have been given by someone who has had first hand experience in raising children with ADHD. Parents can now learn what to do directly from the book rather than waiting while much of the medical community is playing catch-up to scientific literature.

Good Resource  Jul 07, 2002 By Tara McGillicuddy
This a good resource for people who are choosing not to use medication to help manage AD/HD. The book give a basic idea of what AD/HD is. It offers suggestions for natural ways to help with AD/HD such as changes in diet, toxin removal, biofeedback. etc. The suggestions in the book may also pertain to ADDults.

I wish I had this book 5 years ago!  Nov 07, 2006 By N. Swarthout
This easy to read book helped us find a little peace in our lives. We implemented many things from this book with our ADHD son. We have been doing this diet for about three months now. I have never recommended any other ADHD book. This is the first. I am amazed at the difference. These were easy things to implement. The nice thing about this book is you can try one thing at a time or a lot. It is not overwhelming. Some things this book helped my son with are; he's much less hyperactive, sleeps better, eats better, less moody and fewer meltdowns. The stress level in our family is way down. Thank you Laura! My son enjoys the recipes in the book as well. Check out her website too!

Loved this book  Apr 21, 2011 By Marianna
This book is very helpful for parents of ADHD kids. The only draw back is that it's ten years old and some information is outdated( the one about sweeteners in particular). Overall great book.
