Good Afternoon,
First off let me start off by saying that I love my child. But at times it can be over whelming.
I never know how hard it would be to raise I child especially one with a disorder. When I had my first child I was so scared I didn't want anyone to hold her in fear that they would drop her or get her sick. So I took every precaution to make sure she was properly cared for. But as time when on I got a handle on things and not as scared and little bit care free. She is normal child "well as normal as she can be" lol I have my rough patches with her as seeing she is going be a teen less then two months and the attitude is showing up and I so not ready for this, any who this is not about her I may deal with that situation in another blog.
The reason for this blog is to discuss my son and what I have to deal with on a daily basis.
I first notice a change in him when he was about 6 years old and I couldn't quite pin point what the problem was but I knew something wasn't right and I just passed it off as him being you typical ram bunches little boy but a little stand offish. So I we went on with our lives and then it got worse and I would talk to family members and they would say just whip him but I type of parent who did not believe in whipping. But, I was over whelmed.
So I tried the whipping and that did not work because he would start to act out all over again. Mine you at this point I not for certain that he has ADHD. However I knew that this behave was not normal.
Time progress and now he is 7 and then 8 and nothing is seeming to work and I anxious for answers, so i make an appoint with the PCP and discuss the following issues that I am having with my child and some of the systems were that he was agitated, sometimes repetitive, had lack of focus, being disruptive in school, and having difficulties when reading and was failing Math and English .
So his PCP gave me a questionnaire and advised that my son's teacher and I fill it out. As I am filling out the questionnaire I was in awe of how many of the things my child was doing and pretty much was pushed under the rug as being a "bad child"
So my worst fears was confirmed that my son was diagnosed with ADHD. So my instant reaction was I do not want my child on any medication because I do not want him to walk around like a zombie. However, the doctor reassured me that medication would balance him out I was still apprehensive but I felt like I had no other choice.
The medication was seeming to work for a couple of months and everything seemed to running smoothly. I was not getting phone calls from the school about his behavior and I was getting him to do his homework and read a book or 2. I could actually breath and not be on the brink of crying. Then it happen...
