  Hi the bear
  
  I have read the great ADD hoax that u have post, and it look like this Dr Keirsey donÂ’t believe in medical treatment and also very much again it. Using his 20 years of coaching children for public schools experience, he came out his so call Keirsey's Temperament Theory for solving child behavior problem. That is why he can sell so many copies of his book.
  
  Well, if his book can really solve the kid problem then maybe buying his book will be much more cheaper then going to the psychiatry for consultation. However, I think in Singapore, there isnÂ’t much of mental illness among the kid, almost all of them can be treat without medication.
  
  Thank for sharing, not only did I learn something new today but it can also serve as a reference for the parent in this forum.

  Children with ADHD are not easy to take care. My bf's niece has it. And she is real difficult even though she is in secondary school already.
  
  My distant cousin has it too. But his mother didn't spare the rod and sort of able to keep his hyper-activeness down.
  
  Those with ADHD are usually good with hands-on work.
