I wounderd if she may have ADHD or not. She is constantly on the go all the time, and does thing in which she knows is "naughty", to see what kind of reaction she can get. Her behavior has changed in the past year, and I'm afraid to have her put on medication.....DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?! She sees the doctor today for an evaluation!

She is in 2nd grade and has been having alot of problems, but is an extremely smart child. I have always heard such bad things about ADD, that when she could possibly have this I freaked. I am curious any websites that would be beneficial in helping parents with dealing with a child with ADD or ADHD. Thanks for your help and listening.

The breaking point for me was when at age 5 she came to me crying and said I try to be good buy I just cant. That was the day I made the doctors appointment. She is now in the 3rd grade and on the principals list for staight A's. I will never fight my feelings again about my childs well being because of what people think about kids with ADHD.I was told by several people she was just an active child. They were not the ones who had to see her cry.

Many parents I know in schools are threatened by this term and are very afraid of having a child with ADD/ADHD. That’s why clinics are crowded with anxious parents. Once a parent who I know noticed her son couldn’t focus on his homework for a period of time as she expected, she’s just worried and wanted to have her son undertook clinic diagnosis. I also realize the trend of increasing usage of medicine trying to fix “every” problem. Mostly the medicine prescribed to cure ADD/ADHD is to calm down kids. I am not an expert on medicine. But as a parent, I won’t bother whether there is ADD/ADHD thing or not, the real question for me is whether my child has got it. If so, what kind of cure, not just using medicine, is the best for my child? The term of ADD/ADHD is very widely used presently.

We get adults and kids all the time in the clinic who have been diagnosed with ADHD and the actual symptoms they exhibit vary widely.
