He had SUCH a hard time in school because of ADHD and at home too. It was a hard childhood for him.<br /><br />I'm glad you're finding a way to help your son!Hollihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09413841693536976580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779649025427453772.post-21067325589726196122010-10-07T10:54:39.316-04:002010-10-07T10:54:39.316-04:00I am so sorry but glad you've accepted his dia...I am so sorry but glad you've accepted his diagnosis after all the research and tests you've done for him.

Number one reason we didn't treat him sooner? Didn't want to rely on medication if there were other ways to solve the problem but really we didn't want the stigma of the label. Nor did I want him to be able lay the blame for any bad behavior on his disease. Something that really helped him was competitive swimming--it gobbles up energy and teaches discipline. A friend has had her son in martial arts with much the same effect. Good luck to you as you continue to work through this. I'm so glad to hear that school is going better for him!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.com
