Hi everyone! My 5 yr old son was just diagnosed by his pediatrician as having ADHD, to which I said (internally) "tell me something I don't know!" He is crazy smart but all over the place. We went through two evals with fantastic child psychologists who came up with nothing on him before getting our pediatrician to finally give us this diagnosis.
So now the journey begins for my husband and I....to medicate or not, how to actually parent this guy, and how to communicate his needs to others. We have lots of learning to do and have already made all the classic mistakes, I am sure! But I am ready to reach out, learn, vent and maybe even (scratch that..."probably") cry with anyone who is willing to join me.
Well, thanks for listening! Looking forward to hearing from you :) Robin |
