Special Needs Child

Understanding ADHD in Women provides years of research that proves why medical professionals no longer believe that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a condition only found in young, school-aged boys, as it was once believed. In fact, extensive research has proven that the inattentive form of ADHD, which the majority of women have, can be just as difficult, if not even more so, than the hyperactive/impulsive form, like the majority of men have.

An estimated one in thirty-six children in the United States is diagnosed with autism. New research has shed light on the many factors that determine a child’s trajectory—but many parents are still navigating this complex terrain without a road map.

You want your children to grow strong, healthy, and resilient, and become competent, happy, and fulfilled in their lives. You know you won’t always be around to be their safety net, so they need to become competent and effective in their own right, at some point. But adding ADHD into the mix means we need to bring a whole different level of thinking to our parenting strategies. It’s not just about managing what the rest of the world sees as naughty or bad behavior. It’s not just about getting them to sit still, be quiet, and obey. That kind of thinking went out with the Titanic!

I've just had a lousy year, and this is the story of that lousy year. The beginning of it, that is. Just the beginning, actually. Twelve-year-old Lizzy Bekell is autistic. She lives with her mother and attends a special school.

Everything changes, however, when she meets Margaret, a troubled and lonely girl with a mysterious past.

Many mothers only learn they have been living with ADHD after their child begins to have symptoms. Once the parent addresses the diagnosis with the child, the mother will often realize that she has been living with the same exact symptoms for her entire life too. The mother will then be diagnosed with the condition herself. In this audiobook, we are going to take a look at exactly what parenting with ADHD looks like, specifically for moms who have ADHD.

Today's kids have adopted sedentary lifestyles filled with television, video games, and computer screens. But more and more, studies show that children need "rough and tumble" outdoor play in order to develop their sensory, motor, and executive functions. Disturbingly, a lack of movement has been shown to lead to a number of health and cognitive difficulties, such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), emotion regulation and sensory processing issues, and aggressiveness at school recess break.

Think of your child's executive functioning issues as an opportunity to demonstrate strength and resilience. It's through their struggles and their efforts in overcoming them that your child will truly come into their own.

Unfortunately, however, "being sensitive" is often pronounced with a negative undertone. You may have noticed that your child perceives certain stimuli, no matter on what level, particularly intensively or even more readily than you do. It could also be that your child withdraws more often, wants to be to himself or herself, or screams and rages loudly from one second to the next.
