Can I Be My Own ADD Coach? |
|
Quite often I am in contact with people who discuss acting as an ADD Coach for their child or spouse. While supporting and helping loved ones with ADD is a great idea, acting as an ADD Coach really isn't a great idea. There is just way too much emotion involved and an ADD Coach needs to be far enough removed from the situation to be an effective ADD Coach. I have recently seen people talking about being their own ADD Coaches. That is just a really bad idea. As both an ADD Coach and a first born child who has a very hard time asking and accepting help myself, I can see both sides of the coin. It just becomes second nature to want to do things ourselves and not trust in others to be able to... |

How To Recognize the Symptoms of ADHD |
|
An ADHD diagnosis is not formal until formal tests have been given by a
licensed psychologist or other mental health professional.
Unfortunately, these days school teachers are the ones making the
diagnosis when they usually have no qualifications to be able to do
so. I think it is good to be cautious in diagnosing disorders and
loosely labeling children with ADHD when that may not truly be the
case. Often times symptoms of ADHD look like a lot of other
things, and it is extremely important to a child's well-being to be
careful in the process of evaluating them. It is important and
essential, though, that school teachers are keeping their eyes and ears

Is Your Child Lazy Or Is It ADHD? |
|
Having grown up with undiagnosed Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), I know how it feels to be labeled "lazy" when you're really just fighting ADHD and doing the best you can to fit your ADHD square peg into the round hole of life. I remember, as an ADD child, deciding I wouldn't write my spelling words five times. I just didn't want to do it. To a kid with ADHD, that kind of work is just torture, and I quit doing it. I remember that ADHD experience because I failed sixth grade spelling, though I went to the spelling bee as champion for my class. I remember how painful it was when my parents, who'd never heard of ADHD, called me lazy--and meant it I know how it feels to be... |

ADHD Can Be Identified and Treated Early
Author:
Jason Montag
There are many children around the world suffering from ADHD and the crazy thing is that most parents have no idea what ADHD is or even how to treat it. Most parents that have children dealing with ADHD pass off the symptoms as just bad behavior, and this is a real shame. Children that have ADHD display symptoms that are not that easy to detect unless you know what you are looking for. ADHD can be diagnosed by a doctor and that is exactly where a parent should take their child to see if their negative behavior is caused by ADHD. Like I said many of the symptoms of ADHD are passed of as bad behavior and the child is usually punished instead of treated as they should be. Right now you should be asking yourself what the symptoms of ADHD are so that you can keep an eye out for them in your child. The major symptoms of ADHD are impulsiveness, lack of attention and hyperactivity. These start out pretty subtle so keep a good lookout. A child suffering from hyperactivity is usually uneasy, fidgety and squirmy. Difficulty standing in lunch lines and other types of lines could be hyperactive. This is not to say that all children who hate lines have ADHD. If that were so then nobody would be free from hyperactivity. These are just signs for you to look at and take to your qualified family doctor for diagnosis. Inattention is another symptom of ADHD which is when a child is easily distracted by sounds or sights that have nothing to do with what they are doing at the time. Another sing of inattention is a child that skips form task to task without completing any of them prior to moving on. If you think that you child may have ADHD then do not wait or pass it off as something else. It is nothing to be ashamed of if your child has it but if they do and you do nothing about it then not only is that shameful but it is a waste of the great things that they can do if properly treated. ADHD is not a curse as many successful individuals have it. The key is to identify it and treat it early. For more information about ADHD or the used of addaral see this resource.

ADHD Newsflash: "Ignoring Useless Information Aids Memory" |
|
It was one of those "Well, DUH" moments for me. I was researching ADHD and came across the headline, "Ignoring Useless Information Aids Memory." Well, of course it does. But if you have ADHD, especially if you're a child with ADHD, determining useless information in the first place can be a major challenge. What's useless? If you're 10 and have ADHD, grammar is useless. But ignore it and your memory will really improve. You'll have a clear memory of flunking fifth grade English because of ADHD. Or maybe the author meant frivolous information--things like the names and life histories of all of Harry Potter's freinds. Those, indeed, could safely be ignored most of the time, even by an ADHD kid. So here I am, a ten year old ADHD fifth grader who hates grammar and loves Harry Potter. My attention deficit both makes it hard to focus on anything for long and makes it hard to shut things out. Too many stimuli. What do I do? If my ADHD makes it hard to study in class and remember my grammar, I take refuge in Harry Potter and enjoy his exploits and make friends with Ron and Hermione. I let my ADHD help me hyperfocus on what I do enjoy and get something out of. So while "Ignoring Useless information Aids Memory" may be a great breakthrough, it's not for those of us who have ADHD. We already know that ignoring much of what our ADHD brains pick up would help us. We don't avoid this ignoring because we don't want to do it. Everyone with ADHD--be we politicians, teachers, or just ADHD kids--want to focus and can't. I didn't read the article, because I was hyperfocused on something else. I'm just riffing on the headline. But it seems to me that knowing the problem is a long way from solving it, and telling ADHD people to "ignore" anything is not as helpful as it might seem... |
