[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not diagnosing your children, but you should look into resources for parents of young children with ADHD, because even if your children are neurotypical and don’t have ADHD, you still need to find out how to deal with children with tons of energy, short attention spans, poor impulse control, and lots of risk taking.[/quote] This. You keep saying "high energy," Op, but it sounds like that's just one of the issues. [/quote] Yah I have looked into it and their pedi says no, at this time she doesn’t think so. They are too young to evaluate. I can’t tell if you’re being helpful or critical. I already see a few friends talking about adhd like it’s a dirty word, talking about other people’s kids. It’s a fine line to walk and if we do get a diagnosis for something down the road, I sincerely hope I don’t deal with that from my community of mom friends. [/quote] Not trying to be critical. All kids have to deal with learning how to impulse control, though it sounds like you have it a lot harder than most. I just think instead of trying to figure out ways for them to burn energy, it was a very good suggestion to research ways to help them with their impulse control and risk taking. Wish I had more specific suggestions in this area, but perhaps something to consider.[/quote]
