[quote=Anonymous]I told my dd when we were going for testing what the testing was for and why. After she was diagnosed with ADHD, I told her about the diagnosis and what it meant. The psychologist who did the testing also advised us to be open with dd, and she explained to dd at the beginning of testing while we were all meeting together what they were testing for to our dd. I think it's important to share the diagnosis because your child feels like she is different but doesn't know why. This can cause low self esteem. If there is a reason why they are different that is not their fault, and if other famous people have the same diagnosis, it can be a big relief for your kid to hear that. [/quote]
