Sometimes all it takes to get some of the kids diagnosed with ADHA is a little use of rules and sticking to them.
Kids with out rules will push till they get them and get strung out and stressed.
After 21 years of working with kids it is amazing what a little positive reinforcement and rules will do to a kid that is labeled ADHA, wild and out of control.
But there are those out there, that are and have and will always by ADHA, drugs will help.
All to often the guys passing the drugs out have not a clue as to how they really work. Do some reading the test they run one week on and one week off do not do it. It takes at least 10 days to have the drug to kick in a work.
My younger brother was on and off it durning a test every other day till My mother went wrong way guys.
Thing is we tend to trust the Dr. to much instead of doing the leg work our selves.
I was once taught that true ADHD kids will mellow out drinking coffee as their system runs opposite of a normal persons. Used to work for me all the time not so much I am older.
That is why Ritalin gives normal people a high and not ADHD kids.
Yes it is to often the drug is used as and easy out when a good round of TLC, time and training can help.
I still have my bad days when Hyper drive is going strong but I have been taught to work it through.
