Holly has a blog connected to her adoption website. She gives parenting tips, adds humor and photos, ideas on finding balance and tips for parents who have a child with ADD or ADHD. Holly has a wealth of content and information for anyone. I read several of her posts and all are good. The post I’m focusing on today was about how she helped her ADD child to accomplish things by breaking tasks down into smaller pieces to keep from overwhelming her with “big” chunks. I know from my own experience that this works. It works for those not ADD too. Try it on yourself when you feel overwhelmed with a big job!

Your idea of breaking down tasks is wonderful! It also works with children who have other problems. My daughter was diagnosed as ADD,but the medication did'nt work for her. She is also a slow learner and breaking down tasks is a treatment that is frequently used, so the child doesn't feel overwhelmed. We were all very gratified that it also helped the ADD problem as well. I really enjoyed you’re post about ADD. Your idea of breaking down tasks is wonderful!

I hope you don't mind that I've quoted a bit of this post today at my blog, <a href="http://www.eat4today.com" rel="nofollow">Eat4Today</a>: <a href="http://www.eat4today.com/2006/10/18/i-need-you-to/" rel="nofollow">I need you to . . .</a>.

My younger sister has never been diagnosed but after I read some of this book with her, it confirmed everything. She told me that everything is twice as hard for her and one day she took one of her husband's meds and couldn't believe how much she got done! Her advantage/disadvantage is that they are both ADHD and very much alike! That's a doubled edged sword to be sure. *wink* Do you find yourself self-medicating sometimes with caffeine or other stimulants found in foods? My BIL says he does this all the time and bases it on how many times he's lost his keys or how messy his room gets. I thought that was interesting! Hugs, Holly Hi Vicky, I’m so glad you commented.

I wasn't diagnosed early, I was in college. And like you I thought it was "bullarchy" (I like your word.)I've never been on medication for it but if something is out of place, I panic. I can't EVER seem to get organized and it drives my husband insane. He fully believes there is a certain place for everything and if there isn't then it doesn't belong in his house. It's funny to see me try to organize things, I do it backwards and it takes a lot longer than it should. It's hard and reading your blog sort of made me think "What am I gonna do if my children are ADHD too?" Looks like I need my own routine. I’m the same way as your daughter.
