Reader Reviews
This book is superb in every respect. It's comprehensive, yet concise, well organized and reader-friendly. It contains information which parents cannot find elsewhere. 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.
