Re: ADHD behaviour
i tend to agree with the flatb and chief...<br /><br />The add and adhd syndrome kids i have seen is simple a great lack of parental discipline.<br /><br />my wife and i spend a lot of time working with our children to give them the skills to cope with LIFE<br /><br />how not to be frustrated<br />how to deal with other people<br />how to deal with your anger<br />how to pay attention<br />how to focus<br />how to treat people with respect and why<br /><br />These things are NOT taught in school they are taught at home. <br /><br />Your friend IMHO does NOT need drugs she needs counseling to help her learn how to deal with frustration or her anger. <br /><br />Drugs will for short time stop the behavior but they cannot cure the behavior.<br /><br />It works like this...and i have researched this and talked to many mental health experts.<br /><br />1- take a drug to slow the behavior<br />2- get counseling to learn how to stop the behavior<br />3 - get off the drug once you have learned how to deal with the behavior.<br /><br />i have "experienced" 3 adhd kids - I will NEVER EVER trust my children to be alone with them, they have never learned any discipline from their parents. All these drugs do is make them zombies so they do not act up, but they do not know right from wrong, they are just passive.<br /><br />tomatolord
