Just Looking

for Attention

The child who seeks constant attention is, of necessity, an unhappy child. He feels that unless he gets attention he is worthless, has no place. He seeks constant reassurance that he is important. Since he doubts this, no amount of reassurance will ever impress him.

In this chapter, we look at five of the most damaging misconceptions applied to the ADD child.
