BREAK THROUGH!!!!!!! | ADHD Information

I have to agree with this post. I've only been here  for one day but its so nice to know that others are going through the same things. We can support each other, opposed to the negative things out there about adhd.  Keep posting it helps, thank you!

Just as we all share in our frustrations, we also share one another's GOOD DAYS!!  Let him know how proud you are of him, we can tell it just by your writing but make sure and let your 'on-a-great-roll' kiddo know that you think he's doing GREAT!

I am currently reading a book "Power of A Praying Parent" by Stormie Omartian and one of the things she says to do with your child is to grab them by their little chin (just to show some loving contact), stare them in the eye and say "You know what, I love you and I think you're just great!"  I tried this with our ADHD son and he just lit up like it was Christmas. It was a very special feeling for both of us... You should try that with your ds!

Ditto on the support line.  This forum is a testament to the power of community support:  People with like mind and experiences coming to together, laying it on the line, being honest and giving/seeking compassionate views.  We're not in this alone...and for singles parents, quite literally.  Having no spouse as a sounding board for when there are trying times (which is consistently the case) is not a good place to be.  This forum replicates a confindante who is in the know about your child.  Parents of ADHD kids know exactly where you're coming from and can relate to your unique set of circumstance 9 times out of 10.  The shock reaction is minimal because they've heard it all before.

So, bravo, for ourselves and our victories.  Its all about the journey not the destination and thankfully its a group tour!  Thank you for your insights.

So glad we've been able to help! :)
It's amazing how helpful it is just to know there are others out there experiencing the same thing. It's also amazing how much a little change to your frame of mind can improve things.
I also find this message board VERY helpful.
When you are a parent of an ADHD child you can only take one day at a time. And the good days are sooooo golden!!! This board has helped me a lot, also.I don't know where we would be now without this board.....Thanks so much everyone.
