Parents are seeking information on behavior & learning problems, including Attention Deficit, Hyperactivity, Learning Disabilities, Autism, Developmental Delays, as well as the day-to-day issues they face in dealing with their child's behavior. Written in layman's language, WHY CAN'T MY CHILD BEHAVE? describes the newest information on the biochemical basis for behavior & learning problems. It also provides parents with practical everyday steps to identify the most likely triggers for these problems, & empowers them to help their child. This book takes up where the best-seller, WHY YOUR CHILD IS HYPERACTIVE left off (by Ben F. Feingold, M.D., published by Random House, 1974). Parents & doctors who worked with Dr. Feingold, have accumulated 20 years of successful experience helping children, & share it in this practical, often humorous guide. The reader begins with the basics of the diet/behavior link, & goes on to learn about food processing, synthetic additives, & how to locate foods without harmful chemicals. Adult issues, including environmental sensitivity are also covered, as are the double-blind studies connecting foods & food additives with a host of problems. To order, contact Pear Tree Press, P.O.
