Is ADHD in Children a Medical Condition or Bad Behavior?
Parents often ask me if ADHD is a real medical condition or merely bad behavior that requires more severe discipline like spanking.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disordes
Spanking children with ADHD only causes a fight or flight syndrome that is damaging to the parent-child relationship. A sturdy parent-child relationship is "the thing" that will get parents through this. You CANNOT help your child without it, because he will NOT listen to you.
When you learn how to provide your child with the relationship, structure, reward, and consistency he craves, you will see a remarkable improvement in his attitude and behavior. And you will see without a shadow of doubt that ADHD is VERY real, and VERY treatable.
Adhd Medication Versus Natural Supplements and Diet Restrictions
I also get many letters from parents asking me if they should try natural supplements and eliminate toxins before administering their child's prescribed ADHD medication.
Coaxing my son to take natural remedies did nothing for his behavior and only made him angrier. One day I decided to give him the pill his doctor had prescribed. Within an hour, I had a 25% nicer little boy. He wasn't perfect, but the change was VERY obvious. No amount of fish oil had ever done that.
Although there are some children who can't take the prescribed medication for ADHD, and others who get some results from taking supplements and eliminating chemical dyes, my experience is fairly common. If you're opposed to medicating your child, focus instead on the remaining 75% of the proven solution: relationship, structure, reward, and consistency. These things are easy to do and the payoff in your child's attitude and behavior will be enormous.
The MOST IMPORTANT THING to do now is get started, because this WON'T go away by watching and waiting. And by the time your child is 12, it's too late to help him with parenting alone.
