Every restless child is not necessarily hyperactive Cline Causse wrote this book precisely to prevent that type of stereotype. The word hyperactivity actually conceals a precise disease: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADHD. Author of a dissertation on ADHD, Cline Causse uses her dual background as a doctor and journalist in this book to explain this neurobehavioral disorder. She discusses how to recognize it, treat it and cope with it in everyday life, giving parents and teachers advice recommended by the best specialists.
