door,unchained the dog,and ran down tothe beach near the family's home.His mother,SharonProsser,soon discovered Chris was gone.In a panic shecalled a neighbor to watch the baby and then ran along thepath leading to the beach.  \nF  \nWhat she saw at the end of the path frightened her evenmore.There in the sand lay Chris's shoes and socks.Shepeered into the waves but saw no one.Frantically she ranalong the beach,looking for some trace of her little boy.Several hundred yards away she saw two forms against thedarkening sky.As she drew closer,she could see the blackfigures were Chris and his dog.Chris was sitting on a log,chatting to himself and drawing circles in the sand.\"Hi,Mom,\"he shouted happily to his mother.\"Weve beenwaiting for you.”  \nThis was one of many episodes that delighted Chris and  \nscared his parents almost to death.Chris has attentiondeficit disorder(ADD),a brain disorder that makes ithard for people to pay attention.People with the disorderoften engage in risky behavior,act without thinking,andare full of energy.  \nChris is one of about 4million American children whohave ADD.It is the most common
