ADD Moms

If you check out the tabs at the top of the page, you’ll see that a new forum has been added to ADD Moms. I hope that we can start a series of conversations about living with Attention Deficit Disorder, particularly as it applies to women. Please check it out, and feel free to leave a comment or two.

Within the next month or so, ADD Moms will be switching focus, from moms helping their ADD kids to ADD Moms helping themselves when it comes to Attention Deficit Disorder. Just like they tell you on the airplane, in order to help your kids, you have to help yourself first.

It won’t be long before the first half of the school year is over, and that means that the push is on to bring the grades up to an acceptable level. Hopefully you and your AD/HD child have been practicing good habits all year long - managing time well, staying organized, and studying hard.

One of the hardest parts of raising a child who has Attention Deficit Disorder is helping them succeed in school. You know that you have an intelligent child, but their grades don’t reflect it. So what can you do to help them?

The inability to pay attention is one of the hallmarks of Attention Deficit Disorder. Even those who know nothing about AD/HD know this.

When most of us talk about not being able to pay attention it is within the context of school; our AD/HD kids get into trouble at school or they miss key information because they weren’t paying attention. The only time we might realize that this particular AD/HD symptom could be dangerous is when our children are old enough to drive. That is, up until now.
