ADD
Your child or teens school has just called you and they believe your child or teen has ADD or ADHD. The reality is many children and teens have a lot of energy and many children and teens could be diagnosed with add or adhd if we really want to label them.
There are many ways to approach ADD or ADHD: counseling, behavior modification, psychotherapy, diet, exercise. It may take a few weeks to implement a healthy program for you child or teen son or daughter.
Counseling and psychotherapy is effective for ADD and ADHD it will teach: mood regulation, anger management, boundaries, healthy social skills, behavioral programs, parenting skills, social skills, self esteem skills. Medication is popular however it does not teach these skills to your child.
Labeling your child or Teen add or adhd is a dis-service they will wear that label for the rest of their lives and it will not build their self esteem.
I believe if you make the investment in taking time to teach your child or teen healthy life skills it will create huge positive change in your child or teens life as well as your families forever.
