Friday, November 3rd, 2006anna h asked:
I have a book I’m reading that was given my another parent I found parenting classes once a week for children with ADHD, and he has a medical doctor visit Monday to discuss possiable medicine to prescribe for him …. Is there anything I need to know … What peice of advice do you wish YOU knew in the begining???
And he is getting counseling for anger and other issues … He is 7 yrs old.
I’ve read through some of your answers and here’s some extra info … We don’t have much sugar… our idea of candy is yogurt cover rasins and to drick is water …. or milk … and on special occasions Juicy juice. I learn when he was about 2 that he gets very hyper very quickly and we cut out as many sugars as p[ossiable as well as a great amount of starches. He has had a Therapists for the last two years and we have moved to another one who so called “specialized” in his feild … whatever feild they seem to place him in but the previous one also felt he was ADD and possiabbly ADHD … I don’t completly agree he is ADHD but ADD yes … I see his face to stuggle with focusing … I wipe his tears when he freels “stuipid” He hates sports because he can’t focus on them it’s not involved enough… Video games he loves but I **** them, he is restricted to V-tech learning games. Myself my husband his teacher my grandmother his father his paternal grandmother all filled out 2 sets of ?s
