{disclaimer: some of you will have your own mama-wolf-hackles go up while reading this. You may think that I'm off my rocker, and that there are
legitimate cases of ADD & ADHD out there. Perhaps. But I'm pulling the "This is my
blog and I can say what I want to" card. Also, I am not a doctor - so do
not take this post TO your doctor and wave it in his or her face
claiming they are a quack ... I don't condone you stopping any
medication for your child without the supervision of a doctor, nor do I
condone any crazed lunatics calling me or anyone names on this post or
anywhere else. This is my opinion, based on my research and my own
personal experiences.}
I’ve been wanting to tell of tell people about our journey through the symptoms of ADHD for quite sometime now. I have spoken about it here and there, and to only close friends and family, but never 'from the beginning'.
THIS IS A LONG STORY - BUT ONE WITH MUCH HEART, INSIGHT and INFORMATION - Bear with me!
When
my oldest son was 6, he was attending a very prestigious private school in
Calgary. One that came highly recommended academically, spiritually and socially.
I
wanted to the best for my son - of course, and who doesn’t - and being a single
parent, I felt this type of school would be a support system. I needed a
school who would take care of my boy. Easy right? Well, nothing is ever easy or that black & white.
