Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) is now recognised as the commonest cause of learning and behavioural difficulties in school-aged children. The symptoms are many and varied; they may include poor concentration, forgetfulness, poor organisation, impulsivity, restlessness, poor social skills, learning difficulties, low self-esteem, and defiant behaviour. Despite growing awareness of ADHD among parents and health professionals, ADHD is still widely misunderstood.
In ADHD: The Facts Dr Mark Selikowitz, a consultant developmental paediatrician with extensive experience of treating children with developmental problems, provides information that is of practical relevance to parents in understanding their child s difficulties and in helping to overcome them. The book contains detailed explanations of the cause of ADHD, its nature, and the treatments of the condition that have proved effective over time. It includes up-to-date information on ADHD
and new developments in the understanding of conditions that often co-exist with it. The book also deals with the problems experienced by adults with ADHD. It provides information on how ADHD is diagnosed, on conventional and alternative therapies, and on ways of assisting children in developing improved
behaviour, self-esteem, and academic results.
ADHD: The Facts will be of invaluable assistance to parents of children with ADHD. It will also be of great value to professionals such as teachers, psychologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and doctors wanting an authoritative, up-to-date, and practical review of this important subject.
. . . provides healthcare professionals, parents and teachers with an invaluable insight and understanding.
