More than 1 in 10 American kids are coping with the challenges of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Other behavior issues, such as oppositional defiant disorder and conflict disorder, are more challenging still. This book presents the facts on behavior disorders and provides supportive suggestions for kids, as well as for their siblings and parents, who are working to overcome a behavior disorder. Diseases and disorders transform the experience of childhood, forcing kids to confront adult concerns that we wish they could avoid. The set Living with Diseases and Disorders provides reliable facts about some of the most significant chronic illnesses, while also offering reassuring tips and advice about how to manage the disorders and have the best life possible.
