Future Valedictorian with ADHD Forced to Endure Nine Years of School in Refrigerator Box
“Did I tell you what they did to my sister?” she said.
“No, what?”
“Guess you could say she had that ADD. She was always real hyper.
“Anyway, folks in our little town didn’t know what to do with her in class. She couldn’t sit still to save her life. So they cut off the top of an old refrigerator box. That’s where she sat until she graduated from high school.”
“What is she doing now?”
“Did real well for herself. Graduated valedictorian. And she’s running a big insurance company now.”
This is only one example of the worldwide pain caused by our lack of education about ADHD.
to Learn From This Story?
The first lesson is this:
It’s easy to miss ADHD unless you know what to look for. ADHD is abundant and deserves more attention. It’s staggering how little is known about ADHD for there to be so many children struggling with it. It’s commonly cited that 3-5% of school-aged children have ADHD. I believe the number is more like 15-18%.That is why ALL parents need to get informed about ADHD and understand that:
 |
Most kids with dyslexia also have ADHD. |
|
Most kids diagnosed with Aspergers and PDD-NOS also have ADHD. |
|
Kids who are constantly talking or chewing on something often have ADHD. |
|
Many children with speech problems have ADHD. |
|
Kids who are slow to talk or toilet train often have ADHD. |
|
Kids who hit, bite, interrupt, or scream at their parents may have ADHD. |
|
ADHD rarely goes away with age. (In fact, the difficult characteristics usually get worse.) |
|
65% of kids with ADHD also develop ODD (oppositional defiant disorder). |
|
Medication solves about 30% of ADHD attention problems at best. |
|
My products help parents solve the rest. |
ADHD is often overlooked and undertreated. I’m convinced that untreated ADHD is largely to blame for higher school dropout rates, drug and alcohol abuse rates, unwanted pregnancy rates, divorce rates, and more.
The second lesson is:
Sure… All parents love their children and want to see them happy and successful at home, at school, in life. Every parent struggling with a difficult child has read tons of books, and tried lots of methods that haven’t worked. Many parents have tried medication and therapy. Still the magic key to their child’s cooperation is hidden.
If you’re like most parents of children with these conditions, you’re probably making simple and innocent mistakes with your child every day that actually make his behavior worse. That’s why tens of millions of families worldwide are locked in struggles with their difficult and hyperactive children. It’s an unspoken worldwide crisis.
The third lesson is:
Although your problems raising your child may seem huge, the solutions are so simple that they’re easily overlooked. In fact, you’re 99.999% certain not to guess them on your own.
Only a rare few have found the answer to what makes our kids tick. Only one that I know of raised 36 foster children with severe ADHD and other disorders. And studied them for ten years to learn what motivates them to change.
And, gulp, a refrigerator box is NOT the answer.
