The way you talk to your child can profoundly impact his or her behavior, motivation and ability to pay attention. One of the key strategies parents can use is to find and focus on  your child’s gifts. The best way to get improvements in areas of concern is to adopt a coaching approach. This means that you use frequent reminders of desired behaviors. It also means you give explanations for why they should use these desired behaviors. This is in sharp contrast to how most parents communicate with their ADHD child, “How many times do I have to tell you not to mouth off to your teachers?”  Here are five examples of things you can say to coach your child to better performance in school:

 

1. “It’s ok to ask lots of questions, it shows your curiosity, problem solving ability and leadership. You will be more effective in getting the outcomes you want if you use a tone and style that shows your respect for your teacher.”

 

2.  “Your teachers work hard to give you the best education and they care a lot about you, I want you to show respect and appreciation for their hard work.”

 

3. “When you can sit still in class, remember that you can be the boss of your body. If you take a couple deep breathes and remind yourself to calm down you can take control.”

 

4. “The best way to get your teacher to support you is to look at her and listen when she talks.”

 

5. “Remember that the harder you try, the smarter you get. You can build your brain by working hard.”

My 6 year old son was diagnosed by a child neuropsychologist and a child psychiatrist with sensory integration issues, severe ADHD (impulsivity control type), and an unspecified mood/anxiety/anger disorder. He hurts people sometimes and at 4 years of age had to leave his preschool because he hurt other children and sometimes adults. We did not want to medicate him, and cried many tears deliberating, but he was becoming more and more out-of-control and aggresive and hurting his twin brother multiple times a day, as well as doing sometime dangerous things because of his total lack of impulse control. We first treated him for the aggression with Zoloft, which worked immediately. He went the entire first day w/o hurting anyone. Since he was not in school yet, we did not feel the need to treat the ADHD. He got through Kindergarten with the help of a wonderful and very understanding teacher, but team sports, play dates and group situations have been really difficult for him. Academically he did great and he is very creative. Since he was going to start first grade this year and have to be in school an additional 3 hours per day, along with the extra homework we made the decision to try to treat the ADHD. We tried a few meds, but did not like what they did to him. Currently he is taking Adderallrx in a pretty low dose and it calms him down after about an hour - just enough so that he can focus and not be in trouble constantly. It doesn’t “dumb him down” at all at this dose and he is still very creative and expressive- - just more able to concentrate on things and focus on whatever is in front of him. Some days though he seems to be a little more easily agitated or stubborn since starting the Adderall. The 3rd day of school he ran away from his teacher to another building and hid and refused to come to her and the principal had to be called. I am also very worried about having him on these very strong and controversial medications at such a young age. His doctor thinks that he is in more danger psychologically if he is out-of-control at school and gets labeled by the other kids, parents and teachers as a trouble maker. I agree with that, but just want to know that there’s not a better way. He’s a sweet boy and wants to do the right things - he just can’t do it on his own. We also make sure he eats right, gets protein at every meal. I also give him high grade Fish Oil and zinc. I almost forgot - the Adderall was keeping him awake until 10:30 at night (he said his brain would not go to sleep), even though we were giving him the Adderall at 6 a.m., so he now is taking yet another drug, Trazadone to “shut his brain down” so he can fall asleep. I believe in holistic medicine to a point. That’s if it works. He has such an extreme case that I don’t know if anything natural will work for him. I’ve read mixed reviews on some herbal/natural formulas such as Attend and Natures Remedies. I’m thinking about trying St. John’s Wort with 5-HTp, Kava, and even SAM-e. Sometimes, I just feel like he’s a little guinea pig. But he has some serious problems and it’s way beyond just being a boy. I know because he has a twin brother who is all boy and this is a whole different ballgame. We don’t want to cause him any health issues down the road by medicating him, but we also don’t want to cause him serious psychological damage and have him hate school & feel like a failure if we don’t. Any advice? Any true life success stories to share? (Please no sermons about how you’d never medicate your child or how boys will be boys) We do not take this lightly. We just want to help our child.

My heart goes out to you and anybody else who has to make the decision to medicate or not to medicate. I am awaiting an appointment to have my son tested for ADHD and anxiety.

If it turns out that mine is high anxiety (which often goes hand in hand with ADHD, as does aggression) and worries about everything all the time, then I will not hesitate to treat him (with medication). I will probably forego treating the ADHD (as he does well in school but does have trouble focusing) because he’s “functional”. But I do not want him to suffer any social or psychological consequences and want him to just relax and enjoy life. If you said the medication was making a difference for his aggression, then it sounds like it was helping him to relax - something a child should be doing at this young age.

I lost a sibling last year who self-medicated (drugs and alcohol) for anxiety and depression and who was also ADHD. When you don’t get the problem treated, anxiety and depression often result. Alcohol and drug abuse are common amongst people who suffer with these afflictions.

Life is meant to be enjoyed. There is no sense going through it with agression, anxiety, ADHD, and/or depression when there are medications proven to help. If they are helping him, then I would keep him on them.

When I was younger, I used to get headaches and would not so much as take an aspirin. Now, at the slightest twinge of a headache, I take something to make it go away. Why suffer through it?

I would rather live a good, quality of life on meds - than suffer all those problems without them. Thank goodness for modern medicine, in my opinion.

Best of luck to you and your child and I hope you both don’t have any more sleepless nights. =)

Nope. Just all the same stuff that makes everyone else healthier.

ADD isnt a disease per se. Its just a personality type.

I have found that taking fish oil and trying to eat as many whole foods as possible helps. Exercise has not helped me, and i am a lifelong athlete. it just makes me tired. Obviously avoid procssed foods. I feel so dumb after eating a lot of junk food.
