I am a personal coach specializing in parenting. Because I am also a mother of an ADHD child, I have decided to focus mainly in that area. I desire to help others in this situation, but I want to focus my attention on the main issues faced by parents in this situation and not just rely on my own personal experiences. Each child is different and family values vary…I want to know what others are experiencing.

I too have a son, age 6 with adhd, and it has truly been a test on my parenting skills to say the least! I firmly believe my baby boy has been properly diagnosed with the help of his teacher and our family physician and his specialist. I believe the biggest issue for my personal situation has been learning how to deal with his out bursts and anger and aggression. My husband and I have no one to call on to help us so it is solely on us to cope with his behavior and still keep our “marbles” Another issue has been our other children say we are favoring our adhd son (who is the baby of the family) and that we should be spanking him and stuff which i dont agree with regardless, so we also have the constant battle trying to educate the older children on his condition and help them understand that he has to be dealt with in more passive ways than maybe they have been dealt with in their younger years….good luck and hope this helps
