10 Important tips to deal with ADD and ADHD
(Since the entries on the blog is always ‘bottom up’, you would need to start from the bottom entry to get the sequence right. However, I will repeat the basic intro with each entry. This blog is dedicated to
a) Review the program ‘Total Transformation’ and
b) Write important tips and strategies to enable you to deal with the issue of ADHD or difficult behavior without buying any such program, if you do not wish to or afford the same.
Before getting into the tips, let us get some perspectives:
ADD and ADHD is a syndrome rather than a disorder. There would be many other disorders that may get associated with it. You will need to keep this in mind and not confuse ADHD with them. They are termed differently and are different issues altogether. For example:
1. Learning Disabilities: 25% of the children get affected in terms of difficulty in learning and writing. But this may or may not be connected.
2. Taurette Syndrome: Basically, simple issues like grimacing, eye blinking, facial twitches, snoring etc.
3. Oppositional Defiant Disorder: This includes behaviors which are mainly rebellious in nature like stubbornness and temper tantrums.
4. Conduct Disorder: Generally anti-social and in some cases, lying, stealing and if not dealt with appropriately, they can lead to addiction to burglary and cheating.
5. Dyslexia: A reading disorder. where words are blurred, moving or even dancing. For serious level of dyslexia, the bigger issue would be with Arithmetic and similar looking letters like b, d, m, n, g, q, etc.
6. Anxiety and Depression: Logically, peer pressure and competition bring about anxiety leading to anti-social behavior. The simple alternative would be home schooling.
7. Bipolar Disorder: No accurate data available. The important point to note is that medication provided to ADHD children have created bigger problems. Need to take care before labeling the child with this issue.

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
