ADHD: A Parenting Guide

When my son was a child, I knew he was different from the other kids. Jason refused to concentrate on a single game or project for more than a few minutes, and he had an abundance of energy that never ran out. As my son got older, his frustration grew as his school grades suffered and behavioral issues started. After seeing multiple doctors, psychologists, and family therapists, my son was eventually diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. When my son was diagnosed, there were few treatment options available. I decided to form my own education and nutrition plans to help my son succeed. I struggled through the years to help my son, and I am proud to say that Jason is now a pediatrician. I do not want you to struggle like I did, so I have provided an abundance of articles to help you parent a child with ADHD.
