[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Worked for James Thurber! [b]Don't shut that down with drugs - develop it into something creative! Let your child live his life[/b][/quote] This. Don't kill the essence of your child's mind.[/quote] This is a b*llsh*t answer. I don't know if OP's kid has ADHD and its certainly worth considering, but ADHD is not "the essence" of my child's mind. It's a chaotic inability to regulate attention which makes doing the simplest tasks impossible and crushes his self esteem. Medication has given him a chance to live a normal life. [/quote] Eh, I don't know. As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD as a child and medicated, I very much resent it and push back at the fact that everyone in this area RUNS to aggressively diagnose and push drugs. Being on those meds really killed a part of my personality - I didn't feel like myself st all, it felt like my mind had been dulled down. Perhaps it would be better than you recognize your child as an individual, with his own strengths and weaknesses[/quote]
