[quote=Anonymous]I believe that research show the best outcomes with a combination of the approaches (activity/diet/ parent training/ medication).  The details vary by child. For my son he needed medication in order to focus enough to learn self- management skills.

Personally I think parent training is the most critical because it prepares you to make decisions about the other factors. And as the mom you really, really need to have your kid’s back on these challenges.  They will experience enough failure at school and in the world, home needs to be a place where you believe in them and are helping them to the best of your ability.

For me a lot of the parent training was about setting realistic expectations and scaffolding skills.  And then i needed to learn to sort out when frustration was about me versus my child who was really doing their best.

Dr Shapiro’s class is good.  You could also join an online class/ coaching group or find a local therapist who can help you.  I like the articles on CHADD and Understood and the coaching program at IMPACT ADHD.[/quote]
