I hope that all the parents facing these challenges take the time to figure out what works for them instead of being pushed into handling one way or another.Mollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737883086499020291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11885892.post-46554245330676425222010-04-14T08:12:55.033-07:002010-04-14T08:12:55.033-07:00There are tons of non-medicine ways to help adhd k...There are tons of non-medicine ways to help adhd kids. I wonder how many of these parents are willing to take the extra hour a day it would require to implement these strategies. People love the soap box. Are they willing to do the legwork to back up their ideals?<br /><br />If only my youngest could jump-rope while taking tests, lol. Things did get much better for me, socially, by junior high.qqtpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04229848735119152395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11885892.post-43095133513902798452010-04-14T04:07:13.447-07:002010-04-14T04:07:13.447-07:00My son's teacher practically volunteered to dr...My son's teacher practically volunteered to drive him to the pediatrician for the evaluation. Mostly because she is an inflexible, impatient teacher, I have since learned. Regardless, he got the eval and the diagnosis. He is taking Strattera for now, but we hope that in middle school he can develop enough coping skills to quit taking it. Like many boys, he's focused on a career in the military and needs to be off the medicine to join. I firmly believe he takes medicine because the current school system does not match his learning style. But I know it won't change and he has to in order to survive. I'll just say school is NOT his favorite thing, and that makes me sad.TJWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492863069267660318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11885892.post-46497143067642971852010-04-13T21:14:13.550-07:002010-04-13T21:14:13.550-07:00You are a wonderful writer!!
