Product Description:

A clinical practice guideline by the AAP steering committee on ADHD published in Pediatrics in 2011 reviewed the treatment of children with ADHD from 4 to 18 years of age. The guideline suggested in the 4 to 5 year age group behavioral therapy should be used first but in some situations medication (methylphenidate) may be necessary. Many children age 4 years and under are often treated with several different medications. Is this appropriate? Should children under the age of 5 years be treated with stimulants? How do you know when the disorder is severe enough to treat a preschooler?
