ADD/ADHD
Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder are real experiences encountered by both children and adults. Some of the traits include:
• Restlessness, fidgeting, squirming, general difficulty in staying seated.
• Easily distracted by other activities or the environment.
• Talks excessively
• Blurts out answers out of turn or before the question is completely stated.
• Has difficulty with organization
• Struggles with staying on task.
• Waiting is a chore,
• Social awkwardness and poor social skills can lead to alienation from peers.
ADD/ADHD has been misdiagnosed, overlooked or denied. A variety of counseling can be tried, often with successful outcomes. At times medication is necessary. Some children are medicated too soon even before counseling is given adequate time. While medication is not always necessary, some children are in need and once their system metabolizes what has been missing their lives can dramatically change.
So counseling is a must and medication may be an option. Often both are the best course of action to provide the individual optimal care.
