The Very Best Resources For Parenting A Child With ADHD

When my youngest son was first diagnosed with ADHD, I knew very little about it.

Despite going to school to be a special education teacher…

Despite all my previous time spent in therapist and doctors’ offices…

Despite knowing several other families that had children with ADHD diagnoses…

I still knew almost nothing about this particular childhood difference.

Real resources for parenting a child with ADHD seemed scarce.

Fast forward a couple of years and I am still learning every day how to best help my son. I know many of you are as well.

With that in mind, I thought I would share the very best resources I have found in my quest to understand ADHD a bit more, and learn how to assist my son in living well with it.

If you have read anything I have written before, you won’t be surprised to learn that all of these resources are from other moms, learning as they go and sharing their stories, their experiences and their best tips and tricks. Other moms are my favorite.

I have found that the very best resource is almost always another mom, trying to figure out their child, doing the very best they can to help. There is strength in other moms that inspires me. There is a realism that cannot be taught in med school.

There is a simple practicality that make these resources immediately applicable to my life and my to son’s days.

Navigating The Holidays With Special Needs

Navigating the holidays with special needs requires care and planning. It is also exhausting. I am tired. Really tired. Not so much from a lack of sleep, although I am that kind of tired too. No, I am more weary, soul tired. My limbs feel heavy as I move through my days, and find I…

Lies I Believe About Being A “Special Needs Mom”

I leaned over the kitchen counter, my head in my hands, and tried to take a few deep breaths. The house was a disaster, I hadn’t finished reading lessons my youngest in three days, I was still in my pj’s at 11AM, and my eleven year old was melting down over not being able to buy…

When Your Child Is A “Slow Learner”

My youngest son is thirteen years old now. It took him three years (count them, three years) to learn the alphabet fluently. Four years to spell and write his first and last name correctly.
