[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ADHD child has a sugar and carb addiction - quite beyond, IMO, what a normal child with a sweet tooth would want. I understand that this is somewhat typical as children seek to boost their dopamine levels. How do you deal with this, particularly over the summer? Do you try to teach them moderation and delayed gratification and keep some stuff in the house? Do you keep stuff in the house and "hide" it and portion it out? Or, do you not bring anything into the house and deal with the cravings (screaming, in our case). [/quote] i didn't know that these were related but mine also craves sugar like crazy. i didn't realize was trying to boost dopamine levels[/quote] OP here. Honestly, my mind was blown. My DS is recently diagnosed with ADHD. We have always struggled with his crazy level cravings. Now, it's like a light bulb went off once I started reading the research. Look into it and see what you think.[/quote]
