Distracting the Distractions
The Book
Finding out your child has Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) can be an extremely confusing and frustrating time.
You have some big decisions to make – decisions that will dramatically affect your life, your child’s life and your family life, not to mention your child’s future. People you talk to about it will give you their opinions; they will tell you exactly what they would do, but the truth is that unless they are actually in your situation, they are in no position to say what they would do.
The answer seems so simple, doesn't it? Medicate your child or don’t medicate your child. Unfortunately, as I'm sure you are finding out, it’s not that simple. Ultimately, the only person who can know what is best for your child is your child. But there is nothing wrong with following either course, as long as you make the decision for the right reasons.
In this book I will tell you how I made my decisions, as a mother of a child with ADD, who also happens to be living with ADD herself. I know firsthand how ADD affects one's life, how frustrating simple things can be, and also how
