The Magic Trees of the Mind
By: Diamond, Marian Cleeves; Hopson, Janet L.
Published by: Plume
Cutting edge scientific research has shown that exposure to the right kind of environment during the first years of life actually affects the physical structure of a child's brain, vastly increasing the number of neuron branches--the "magic trees of the mind"--that help us to learn, think, and remember. At each stage of development, the brain's ability to gain new skills and process information is refined. As a leading researcher at the University of California at Berkeley, Marion Diamond has been a pioneer in this field of research. Now, Diamond and award-winning science writer Janet Hopson present a comprehensive enrichment program designed to help parents prepare their children for a lifetime of learning.

The Mislabeled Child
By: Eide, Brock; Eide, Fernette
Published by: Hyperion
Paving the way for understanding. This work is a definitive look at learning disabilities and the brain from two neurologists who specialise in clarifying the help parents need to get and give their children. Parents and doctors often treat learning disability based on behaviour rather than what is actually occurring in the brain. A diagnosis of ADHD can stem from many things and medication won't cure the fact that the child in question may have a sensory impairment (hearing/vision) or a brain that isn't wired to retain information for longer than 10 minutes without some kind of stimulating break. Two extremely simple examples: the Eides have written comprehensively on every kind of learning difficulty, from dyslexia to dysgraphia, and even the issues provoked by the notion of "giftedness". "The Mislabelled Child" is a complete, ordered look at these disorders from two experienced neuropsychologists who have pioneered the study of (as well as being parents of) gifted or learning disabled children. It provides an answer to the parents of the millions of children with significant learning and behavioural problems; to the teachers who are responsible for their education; to home schooling families who have been unable to find the requisite help within the system; and to the many therapists and other health professionals whose mission is to care for them.

Overcoming ADHD
By: Greenspan, Stanley I.; Greenspan, Jacob
Published by: Da Capo Press
This wise and informative guide applies Stanley Greenspans much admired developmental approach to a very common disorder. In his distinctive and original view, ADHD is not a single problem, but rather a set of common symptoms that arise from several different sensory, motor, and self-regulation problems. As in his highly successful earlier books and in his practice, Greenspan emphasizes the role of emotion, seeking the root of the condition and rebuilding the foundations of healthy development. Overcoming ADHD steers away from the pitfalls of labeling, or of simply stamping out symptoms with medication, and demonstrates Greenspans abiding belief in the growth and individual potential of each child.
