Taking a Break from ADHD Medication: Is It Right For Your Child?

Thursday, August 14, 2014 by Kimberly Miller

ADHD Medication: To Break or Not During the Summer?

Whether or not your child takes a break from ADHD medication during the summer is something that is a personal choice that should be made with great care and consideration. Ask yourself, "Are my child's ADHD behaviors going to interfere with his/her success at summer camp or other vacation activities we have planned?"  Personally speaking, in the eight years that Jonathan has taken medication for his ADHD, this year has been the first that I have considered allowing him to take a "break" from his medication. We had no plans for … [Read more...] about Taking a Break from ADHD Medication: Is It Right For Your Child?

5 Tips for Dealing with Learning Disabilities

Wednesday, March 19, 2014 by Kimberly Miller

tips for dealing with learning disabilities

"Your child has a learning disability." Six words that a parent never wants to hear, but something that one out of every seven Americans has. Learning disabilities (LD) are neurological disorders. It does not mean your child is incapable of learning, it just means that their brain is wired differently. Most children with learning disabilities are as smart (or even smarter!) than their peers. A child with a learning disability; however, may have difficulty reading, writing, spelling, recalling or organizing information or reasoning or a … [Read more...] about 5 Tips for Dealing with Learning Disabilities

Wednesday, September 25, 2013 by Kimberly Miller

7 Facts You Need to Know About ADHD - Life in a House of Testosterone

Living with ADHD is hard. Being the parent of someone with ADHD is hard. Being the teacher of someone with ADHD is hard. Together, with understanding, we can make it through, we can make a difference. October is National ADHD Awareness Month. Since my eldest son was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of six, I've done everything in my power to educate myself, to educate him, and to better understand how his mind perceives the world around him and to understand that my 'normal' is not his normal. I'd like to share 7 Facts You Need To Know … [Read more...] about 7 Facts You Need to Know About ADHD

Bedtime and the ADHD Child

Monday, September 2, 2013 by Kimberly Miller

Tomorrow is the first day of school for my 10-year-old and my 13-year-old ADHD child. That means a 8:00 p.m. shutdown of all games and televisions and a 9 p.m. lights out routine once again on school nights in the hopes that they will both be asleep by 10 p.m. The thought has crossed my mind to drug them with horse tranquilizers, but since I don't own a horse, and don't know a veterinarian, that's out of the question. The warm milk I can do ... if I could get them to drink it. (It's a joke about the tranquilizers people, don't go all crazy on … [Read more...] about Bedtime and the ADHD Child

Breakfast Ideas for the ADHD Child

Sunday, August 4, 2013 by Kimberly Miller

Breakfast is vitally important - for all of us - as it is the fuel that jump starts your day and keeps you going. For children with ADHD, having high-protein foods in their diet is a must, along with cutting out the sugar but not taking away from the taste. We all know, if it doesn't taste and smell good - they are NOT touching it! ADHD children who are on stimulant medications have little to no appetite once they have taken their medication. To help you get the fuel that they need into their bodies in the morning before school, consider … [Read more...] about Breakfast Ideas for the ADHD Child
