Summary

The use of Ritalin to control normal but inconvenient behaviour in children has many negative consequences for health. This work advocates an alternative - the Caregivers' Skill Program, a plan involving both school and home that focuses on behavioural and motivational problems and self-esteem.

Ritalin is Not the Answer Summary

Ritalin is Not the Answer: A Drug-free, Practical Program for Children Diagnosed with ADD or ADHD by David B. Stein

At Last! A Healthy, Drug-Free Alternative to RitalinNearly one-tenth of all school-aged children in the United States are being coerced into taking mood-altering drugs with side effects that include insomnia, tearfulness, rebound irritability, personality change, nervousness, anorexia, nausea, dizziness, headaches, heart palpitations, and cardiac arrhythmia. These are the children diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD) or attention deficit with hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Ritalin Is Not the Answer confronts and challenges what has become common practice and teaches parents and educators a healthy, comprehensive behavioral program that really works as an alternative to the epidemic use of medication-without teaching children to use drugs in order to handle their behavioral and emotional problems.
