I have a nine year old son who was diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia about two years ago. It has been a long hard road for him but he is not a quitter and has great support. I have a seven year old who we are in the process of having tested. They could not be any different if I tried. All I keep thinking is oh no not again. If my nine year old is not on his meds there are times he is totally unruly. I know as a mom I have to be strong and brace myself if I get the same ADHD diagnosis for my seven year old. But.....as a human and a woman with PMS I just want to cry. Any advise??
We have few groups on Raisingthem of parents dealing with ADHD. Just insert keyword ADHD on the search box. I am sure they can give you the necessary support.
