The Myth of the A.D.D Child: 50 Ways to Improve Your Child's Behavior and Attention Span Without Drugs, Labels, or Coercion, by Thomas Armstrong

   Dr. Thomas Armstrong is possibly the best known for his practical books on developing Professor Howard Gardner’s models of multiple intelligence. 
   But in this equally practical book he strongly argues against the vested interests advocating the widespread use of drugs to combat the alleged symptoms of "attention deficit disorder syndrome". 
   Armstrong says tens of thousands of children are wrongly being diagnosed and prescribed drug treatment for the so-called A.D.D. syndrome, when they simply have a different learning style. 
   The book’s apt subtitle summarizes its major practical theme: "50 ways to improve your child’s behavior and attention span without drugs, labels or coercion."
