Pointing out the use of meds | ADHD Information

ctorres - I know what you are going through.  Many members here are at odds with their own family members because of propaganda about medication.  It works - you know it your daughter knows it.  Perhaps get your husband to look at www.oneaddplace.com and check out the information there.  It helps as it's a big information source for our ADHD.  He also could have ADHD - it's genetic sourced and males have it at least twice as often in a family as the girls.  Makes you think huh?

For reminders - perhaps until you have hubby on your side you should consider taking daughter to the side to discuss her care.  Remind her that these medications work best when they are used every day - they work best when they are consistent in the brain and not dipping up and down.  Check out the oneaddplace yourself and you'll find more info.

People are coming onboard all the time on understanding ADHD - so don't worry somebody here will have a better way to approach your husband on this matter.

Ask the teacher to give 1 hr. before school is out. Just send a note giving permition to. Lots of Dad think add and adhd are not areal thing.

Add liquid supplements, healthier the diet the better. these should help also.

Ot should be allowed for Si therapy for all disorder kids if you ask my wife.

 Tell him, he is in denial and has it too 

 just kidding.

 ignore what he says. Just keep doing what your doing and it will all be ok. He may not see it if he has it.

 but regardless. he needs to go to her next appt. then he can confront them. and then maybe they will dx him for you

 best of luck

When my daughter has not had her meds because my husband has forgotten to give them to her, I point out to her that she is having a rough evening or had time with her homework because she didn't have her meds as she should have.  My husband gets furious because he says that I am going to give her a complex.  That's not what I'm trying to do.  I am trying to teach her that the medications are for her own good.  She doesn't complain about taking them.  He is the one with the issue.  He says that by doing this, I am doing her more harm than good.  Has anyone read anything on this topic?  If so, do you remember where you read the facts to support either one of our views.  I have no problem with changing my approach but only if it is going to help my daughter.  I want my husband to realize that this is serious and that it is our responsibility to take care of her.  Help!
