We have used all the leaflets in the past but this one is particularly useful to give to families concerned about ADHD where either the diagnosis is still uncertain or where the family simply needs ideas to manage lively behaviour. I am very glad it continues to be available. It would be nice if the Young Minds phone number on the back of the leaflet could be updated to save us having to change this manually
