Written by the mother of Stefan, a boy diagnosed with ADHD,
Marching to a Different Tune is a day-by-day, moment-by-moment
account of how his unusual and difficult behavior affects and
disrupts their family life inside and outside the home. Jacky
Fletcher describes in intimate detail the struggles, embarrassments
and triumphs her family experiences throughout a four year period
of Stefan's childhood. The diary ends with an expression of the
family's love for Stefan -- as he approaches adolescence, they will
learn new ways to cope with the challenges of his behavior,
applying the knowledge they have gained through experience.
Marching to a Different Tune: Diary about an ADHD Boy gives an
essential new perspective to the understanding of Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder -- it describes this complex set of
behaviors from the inside. It complements and deepens the clinical
presentation of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, at a time
when this diagnosis is being applied to more and more children. The
last chapter of the book gives a clinical description of ADHD; the
appendices contain useful addresses for more information and
support networks, and a list of recommended reading. This book will
inform the practice of teachers and psychologists who work with
ADHD children, and guide and support these children's parents and
families.
