[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 579674, member: 11791"] I don't know what [I]their[/I] suggestions are, but... Coming from a long line, and large extended family, where "ADHD' is part of the culture as well as the genetics... One counter-action is intensive parenting... not just those early years, but right through the teen years, too. As a parent, you have to remain the single most important influence on their lives. It takes time, and money (because it doesn't work with 2 full-time-working parents). Dumping them into a series of activities so they are "busy" doesn't replace the need for significant structure, direct daily interaction, and significant family time. [/QUOTE]
