Sue found that
many food additives and natural food
chemicals in some fruit and
vegetables can affect some children
just as badly as artificial colours
in junk food. By following the
step-by-step guide to the
elimination diet included in this
book, parents can help their
children to be free of a wide range
of health and behavioural problems.
Your kids
aren't affected by food.... How do
you know? When natural and synthetic
food chemicals are eaten every day,
the effects are accepted as normal
and parents often think, 'that's
just our kids'.
Your family eats healthy foods....
Are you certain? Even our daily
bread, butter and fruit can affect
some children.

Every year,
one in twenty Australian children is
diagnosed with Attention Deficit
Disorder (ADD). ADD can explain why
a child is over-active, bored, lazy,
constantly demanding, argumentative,
unmotivated, disorganised, without
friends and experiencing learning
difficulties. But does this
diagnosis mean that your child is
doomed to a life of failure?
"NO!" says child psychologist Ian
Wallace. In this new book he
introduces troubled parents to a
variety of practical strategies,
designed specifically for ADD, that
can help them and their children
manage everyday problems. Ian even
tackles the difficult problems of
low self-esteem, poor social skills,
defiance, school issues, aggression
and sibling rivalry.
Ian Wallace, consultant psychologist
in Sydney, is Australia's foremost
authority on the treatment of ADD
using behavioural therapy.
Blending solid
information and sound advice with
jokes and funny cartoons, it guides
kids to understand that anger is
normal and can be expressed in many
ways—some healthy, some not.
It teaches them how to recognize
anger in themselves and others, how
to handle situations and emotions
(loneliness, guilt, frustration,
fear) that lead to or mask anger,
and how to deal with the anger they
feel.
Young readers learn that violence is
not acceptable and there are better,
safer, more positive ways to resolve
conflicts.
They also discover what to do when
people around them are angry, how to
get help, and how to locate other
resources (books, hotlines, school
groups) when they need more support.
