[quote=Anonymous]I was diagnosed with ADHD in my late 20s so I was never medicated as a kid. My parents somehow intuitively helped me manage my symptoms and cope in ways that serve me well now as an unmedicated adult. I got plenty of sleep, limited screen time, limited sugar. No caffeine and very little food coloring. I was always in sports. We always had a predictable schedule. My mom kept a neat and organized house where I always put things like my shoes, glasses, coat in the same place every day. My mom taught me how to make lists, break down tasks into small goals, and generally how to keep track of things and finish projects. Depending on the severity, it can be done. However many kids with ADHD have parents with ADHD and those parents can’t provide the type of structure needed. [/quote]
