Hi there! My husband and I started a meetup especially for kids like ours (ADHD & ADD) to be able to make friends. As most of you parents already know, it's difficult for alot of our kids to make friends. If you're in the Los Angeles area and your ADHD kid needs friends and socialization, hang out with us!
We're having our first monthly meet up in Santa Monica on April 14th, 12:30pm at Douglas Park! This is a group for KIDS and their parents!
You can learn more about us and our meetup at:

Hi:
This sounds like a great idea. I have a 7 year old son who has just started with Daytrana Patch this week. I have always thought a group like this would be great. My son is a nice boy and has friends BUT he tends to get out of control, too excited on play dates. Most parents don't know how to cope with that and don't invite him back again. I end up hosting all the play dates at our house but I'd love to meet others who know what it's like. We will definately try to make your group on April 14 I don't think we have anything pending that day. I did sign in to join your group also. We live in Mar Vista. Are any of the other children boys around his age?
Thanks
Laura & Joseph
Hi Laura-
wow we're in MarVista too! my 7yr old son is very similar - gets hyper. Other parents dont know how to deal. Also, he takes meds mid-day, and that can really freak out other parents.
This is our 1st meetup - so I dont know who will show, but we will be there with our 2 sons, so your son will definately have someone to play with! Please feel free to post info about this meetup in other related forums - the more the merrier! Hope to meet up with you on the 14th!

Hi I found out our game is at 11:30a.m., I'll try to get him there afterwards. He can be stubborn though so I'm not sure but hopefully he will go. If not maybe we can meet up with you at least another day.
