The authors explain the neurological foundations of ADHD and dispel common prejudices. They demonstrate that it is a complex neurobiological disorder rather than a lack of discipline or parenting errors. The detailed explanations of diagnostic criteria and manifestations are particularly valuable.

A main focus is on the practical implementation of assistance in everyday life. The authors present proven strategies for daily structuring, homework management, and conflict resolution. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of clear rules and positive reinforcement.

The book presents various treatment options, from behavioral therapy approaches to medical treatment. A multimodal therapy approach is favored, which should be individually tailored to each child.
