** Recent Issue Posted - Parenting in Moms with ADHD **

If you missed the recent issue of Attention Research Update, it is now available

on the web. a recently published study on how ADHD may impact the parenting

behavior of mothers. Surprisingly, the relationship between ADHD and parenting

behavior has been infrequently studied, and the investigation summarized below

represents the most extensive examination to date of this important issue.

As you will read, mothers with ADHD were found to struggle in several very

important aspects of parenting. As I note at the end of my review, however, it

is essential not to interpret these results as indicating that parents with ADHD

cannot be effective and supportive parents - that would be a highly erroneous

and unfortunate conclusion to draw. Instead, the value of this work is that

identifying areas where parents with ADHD may have difficulty can contribute to

the development of interventions to address these difficulties, and also

highlight the importance of considering parental ADHD when treating children and

adolescents with the disorder.If you have not already reviewed it, I believe you

will find this to be a very interesting article.

You can find the article at www.helpforadd.com/2006/september.htm

You can also access all back issues of Attention Research Update at

www.helpforadd.com/archives.htm. All back issues are archived by year with a

Support for this issue of Attention Research Update was provided by NeuroTek and

Shire US Inc.

NEUROTEK: The feedback training system for children with complex problems.

Children with complex issues frequently need more than one approach. The Peak

Achievement Trainer combines three NeuroVideoFeedback tools in one, enhancing

the Three Fundamental Dimensions of Mental Processing. With the Peak Achievement

Trainer, children can learn to focus better, to increase their arousal level and

decrease hyperactivity, and to enhance their awareness and learning. Find out

more about training the three fundamental dimensions of mental processing, while

entertaining children with the DVD of their choice, by visiting the NeuroTeK web

site.

Shire has developed an excellent education site at www.adhdsupport.com where you

will find a wide range of educational information and support resources,

including a Free ADHD took kit. There are a number of educational resources on

this site that I believe you will find to be helpful including information on

the educational rights of children with ADHD, coping with ADHD in college, and

classroom accomodations for children with ADHD.
