[QUOTE="navineja, post: 198328, member: 4278"] First of all, welcome! You will find many great ideas and a lot of comfort on this site. It has helped me to cope just knowing that there are so many others that can empathize with what we deal with. We also have twins (girls, age 7). Both are ADHD and one is ODD. I personally wanted to avoid medications if possible. After a LOT of research, we began to give the girls a daily combination of magnesium, omega 3-6-9's and B12, as well as using the Bach flower remedies. I am not 100% sure which of this combo is doing the job, or if it is all of it working together, but we have had tremendous success! (I am not advocating any particular form of treatment- just sharing our story.) This is not to say that we do not still have problems with behavior, but we no longer have to endure daily temper tantrums or screaming fits that last for hours or daily uncontrollable defiance. The boundaries are still tested occasionally and anger still rises to the surface for the ODD child. However, these remedies have helped in that she is able to use the "tools" that she has (counting to 10, deep breathing, etc) to calm down most of the time. As for the ADHD, both girls have improved in their ability to focus and comprehend schoolwork. You can also look on the Natural Treatments section of this board for more info from others. Hope this helps and hang in there! You will hear from many others with older children who will tell you that over time this can get better. Naomi [/QUOTE]
