I am the mother of an adhd son, and I have posted on this board on and off for awhile. I am also a freelance writer working on a story on ADD for a national magazine. I am looking for the best support group secrets...(this board is certainly a support group!) Please share your best adhd tip or advice..For example, but not limited to:
How do you stop a tantrum?
What discipline works? What doesn't?
How do you deal with relatives? Teachers?
How do you get them to take meds?
How do you and your significant other deal with the stress it puts on the family?
How did you come to terms with the diagnosis?
What is the best tip you got on meds? tantrums? schoolwork? siblings?vacations? sports?
Please either email me at aschusteff@aol.com or post here, but I need your name and city. I appreciate your help!!
