[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is 6 and I have not done it yet, though we talk about the symptoms and practice strategies. I just do not want to shake her confidence or for her to self-limit. But, I know the time is coming soon. [/quote] it is a bigger blow to self confidence to think that these problems you are having are just because you aren't smart, or you don't work hard enough, or you don't pay attention as much as other kids, or you are bad. It is actually often a boost to self-confidence to know that there is a reason why these things are harder for you, and that it isn't just character flaws or a lack of effort etc... ADHD provides an explanation and that can be very validating. She will only think ADHD is a bad thing or an excuse if that is how you present it to her. [/quote]
