Our story

When our child was diagnosed with adhd and I started to understand what was going on in their brain it opened up a lot of doors for us as a family. It has been eight yrs now and we continue to grow. As you all share with us we can understand and grow more and more. After the diagnosis I realized we were over reacting to situations and at the time we didn’t point fingers and say you do this wrong or you do that wrong you have to change. Instead we saw the behavior for its name. Example we will not yell anymore when the situation gets the best of us we will stay quite or come up with a better way and for those of us who as you call it may be emotionally insecure maybe staying quite was best for a very long time until the confidence was there to come forward patiently. the moral of me telling you this is that maybe instead of us saying to our loved ones, friends, bosses, etc. you do this wrong maybe we could just use the verb and not point fingers. It may not always work but could be a good start. Eliminating behaviors one little one at a time can be healing it takes longer but it’s not as hurtful and so rewarding if you are working with people who are worth fighting. Maybe everything doesn’t change just like we want but hopefully it’s a little softer around the edges.
