Just Like His Father?

Your child is at risk if he has biologic relatives with ADHD, addiction or antisocial behavior. Recent scientific studies have shown that often these conditions are transmitted genetically in families. About 50% of the risk for these conditions is genetic and 50% is related to a person's early environment. While you can't change your child's genetics you can provide him/her with an environment that protects him from developing these conditions. Dr. Leedom, author, psychiatrist and herself a mother gives you the tools you need to parent an at risk child and provide him/her with the best possible environment. Remember, your at risk child's needs may be different from those of other children!
