We discuss Meds, Diet and Natural Controls with the choice being left to the parent. Through sharing of experiences we can learn from each other to help our children to become productive Adults.

Children with ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder in children is frustrating and exhausting to the child and the family. Schools find these kids generally a burden, and often lack the understanding, skills and training to effectively deal with and help kids with ADHD succeed. We need to support one another through discussion of what works, what doesn't, medications, and all those issues that surface when loving a child who has the disease of ADHD. . . and it is a disease. Join in and support one another, everyone wins, but mostly, our children win because we have each other to lean on in those often trying times.
