I am a mom, and my son has ADHD PDF Print E-mail
Child Behavior
Written by Kari Neri   
Wednesday, 30 April 2008

First let me stress that for starters this is undiagnosed and will stay that way. This is nothing more than an assumption that his teachers, the school officials and those close to us have, myself included. The lack of desire to have this confirmed is not a matter of denial but a personal choice on my part as a parent to deal with it without the help of drugs or therapy. There is nothing he needs at this point that I can’t in some way shape or form provide.

happy_baby.jpgI had my little girl in September of 2006. As happy as I was, I found myself spending all of the following month a mess emotionally and exhausted physically. I didn't know how to keep my little one from crying, and I didn't know why she was crying. I spoke to so many moms that said, "you just gotta try everything and hopefully one of them should work". Well, I tried and nothing seemed to work. By the end of October I was more exhausted, confused, depressed and told my husband in a fit of emotion, "...this is happening because my baby hates me.
