Am I Abnormal? Kids' Concerns About ADHD
Author: Angie Dixon
When I first started giving my ADHD medications at about age 7,
I didn't talk to him enough. He got really worried and asked,
"Is something bad wrong with me?" That's when I realized that
because ADHD kids are unusually bright and perceptive in many
ways, it's important to sit down and talk about what's going on.
My ADHD son was worried that he might have a brain tumor or
something bad like that. I assured him that he had an illness,
and that while something was different in his brain, it was not
something "bad." I explained what ADHD is and how it makes his
brain function differently.
Because I have ADHD myself, I was able to explain that we have
"different" brains and that he got his ADHD from me and that I
turned out just fine and so will he.
Some ADHD kids, though not mine, worry about being "weird" or
abnormal because of their ADHD. I assured my son that he's a
little different, but that's a good thing.
The main thing is to find out what your ADHD child is concerned
about and address that particular concern, whether it's fear of
a brain tumor or not wanting to take medication. The best way to
talk to your ADHD child is just to ask what's worrying her and
discuss those things.

| Trying Is Lying |
|
What exactly do we mean trying is lying? It’s been my experience that when a person says I will try that’s when they start to look for ways out of dong it. I mean right in the name TRYING just spells failure. I mean how many people that you know when saying that they are going to try and quit smoking make it?
Can they truly and honestly try to give it their best? I did not think thought so. Then I looked back at all the times in my life when I said that I would try and really know that I wasn’t going to make it. If I knew I was “TRYING” and that was ok by me because after all I was “TRYING”. It left a bad taste in my mouth. I knew that I wasn’t trying to hard; just enough to let myself know that I was trying ever so litely and that I would eventually fail from the master plan, so yes trying is lying.
Now if you say you are going to do something and you really mean it the chances are you will pin your ears back and do all you can to get the job done. What if you fail even though... |
