Hi there! I “stumbled” upon your blog and just wanted to let you know I was here. I have an 11 year old son who was diagnosed with ADHD and LD when he was 6. I’m going to look around a bit. You’re more than welcome to stop by my blog when you get a chance: http://www.adhdguide.blogspot.com. Take care.

Nice to meet you!

It is such a challenge, and just plain exhausting.

On another blog a mom complained that her daughter had her third tantrum in 10 days. That sounds like paradise to those of us with “special” kids. My ADHD boys can’t go a half hour without a meltdown!

Anyone who thinks ADHD doesn’t really exist would change their mind after spending just one minute with either of my youngest two boys! One mom told me, “I never really understood ADHD until I saw your youngest boy.” LOL And I hadn’t even mentioned ADHD to her.

Oh the discussions we can share eh?

Thanks for sharing. You’re a good mom. I don’t think I would have the patience to deal with a child with ADHD.

You’re so nice! Some days the patience meter runs pretty thin. *sigh*

Does she get 10-12 hours of sleep at night?
My research shows that insufficient sleep causes the same behavior patterns/problems as ADD/HD.

Yes, sleep has never been her problem, in fact she can sleep through almost anything and falls asleep at the drop of a hat!

What is positive for your daughter is the fact you know what this is all about. This fact does not mean you have a lesser challenge, but your daughter have a much greater chance to become “normal”. It’s allways a light in the end of the Tunell for people that know where to find the exit.

Awwww that is SO sweet of you to say. I like that visual from the statement that the people knowing where to find the exit will always find light at the end of the tunnel! Awesome.

We’re becoming more and more aware of the fact that my nephew may be ADHD. My sister is planning on getting him tested soon. This checklist totally describes his personality.

Good for your sister on doing what she can to find out! Let me know if she needs anything!
