"Children with ADHD can and do succeed in all aspects of life." Your child can learn to control behavior problems, avoid distractions and achieve success in school and home.

Stress Free ADHD is a comprehensive approach to managing the day to day challenges of families with someone with ADHD. It was designed with quite an impressive Advisory Board -with well known experts like Dr. David Rabiner, (Senior Research Scientist at Duke University) and Patricia Quinn (Author and specialists in child development and psychopharmacology).

The Special Management Tools will help monitor a child's behavior, develop daily and weekly routines, and assist you in creating an effective reward system. At the same time, it will help a child develop organizational skills and independence while building self esteem. 

The Audio Program covers behavior management, positive reinforcement and incentives, social skill development and techniques for school and home. 

The Homework Improvement Program is designed to improve communications between the school and home, resolving some of the common problems ADHD children experience with schoolwork.

The Behavior Management Charts are used to monitor progress, build self esteem and promote good behavior.

There is absolutely nothing like it available in the market.

Stress Free ADHD is not another book or tape. It is not another “theory”, or a new drug. It is the most comprehensive collection from the leading ADD/ADHD authorities of the best, tried and proven techniques and tactics to control the problem in children. It is a highly researched work, that resulted from research and review of thousand of books, articles, interviews, websites, and other informative sources. Then the “best of the best” was organized using a sophisticated organizing template, to create a short “mini course” for parents, teachers, and treatment professionals. Stress Free ADHD is a multi-component, educational program that doesn’t tell you what you already know….it gets directly to the heart of the methods to set up and manage a complete behavior management program for the child. 

By working through this 8 module educational course, you will learn techniques, tactics and tools you will want to incorporate at home, at school and in the child's social environment.

Raising Your Spirited Child - Best seller and winner of the 1998 Parent’s Choice Award

Mary Sheedy Kurcinka is a licensed teacher of parents and children as well as a fellow parent of a "spirited child". 

• You're not alone--all families experience power struggles and tough times
• You are not powerless
• There is information to help you understand your child and yourself better
• You have permission to take care of yourself.  It is not a sign of failure to seek a little help.
• It truly is possible to have kids who work with you because they WANT to
• And progress, not perfection, is our goal!

She states that on good days spirited children "prove to be more delightful than you ever imagined. They make you laugh, pull your attention to the bugs and bees you would have missed without them, give you an excuse to play and encourage you to take naps. On bad days they refuse to do anything that you ask-usually in a loud and angry voice: they spit at you, kick you, and rob you of your sleep with their demands and the worries they arouse. Often they make you cry. They may also leave you feeling a little crazy, even stunned, wondering how, if it is like this now, you will ever survive adolescence."

If that sounds a bit like your life, than this is the course for you.

In this course you will get:

• help actually applying the strategies to your own everyday situations

• examples and stories about all age groups, infants to adolescents, to allow your skills to grow with your child
