[quote=Anonymous]What is the purpose of this thread? It seems deliberately combative- my son has ADHD and it's a daily struggle. Currently we don't medicate and we revisit the decision often. He doesn't eat foods any different than other kids his age-- the nutritional game changer for him is protein. Poorly regulated blood sugar affects mood which affects behavior. Exercise, sleep, and a predictable routine help. None of it makes the ADHD go away- merely controls the worst symptoms.ADHD is a serious condition- it impacts all areas of functioning. Our current worry as my son enters the teen years is emotional self regulation and depression we watch for it closely-- that is the tipping point and that is the time he will be on meds. Judgey parents who have no idea what it's like to see your kid struggle, to make friends, to keep up-- you have no idea. [/quote]
