Please welcome my Guest Blogger, Jim. Thank you very much for this well-written and informative article!
So your child was recently diagnosed with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and you do not want to start medicating your child daily at this young of an age. Do not worry, you are not alone. My son was 10 when he was diagnosed, and he was in his mother’s custody… he was on 13 daily medications for his ADHD and related symptoms! As any good father, I slowly helped him come off these medications, and now at the age of 16 he is not taking any, plus he is doing great academically and socially!!
It is possible to get your child through life without medicating them daily, even if they have ADHD. ADHD rarely affects a person in adulthood, so doctor’s main concern is helping the child to be able to concentrate in school and listen at home.
For my son, intense daily exercise was the answer. See he was more hyperactive than attention-deficit, so about 45 minutes of intense daily exercise helped him substantially. I suggest if your child is hyperactive and diagnosed with ADHD that you encourage him to play all kinds of sports; my son participated in soccer, basketball, tennis, baseball, and even football one fall.
If you believe your child is more on the attention-deficit side, then exercise may or may not help him or her. I suggest that you try it.
Another alternative to medicating your child with ADHD is cerebellar stimulation exercises. These stimulation exercises help to stimulate your child’s cerebellum, and in return relieving their ADHD symptoms. There have been excellent results with cerebellar stimulation exercises; I suggest you and your child look into it.
Counseling also will help your child with ADHD, plus your psychiatrist may be able to offer another alternatives. If you have a good psychiatrist, they will be willing to find your child the perfect solution for their ADHD symptoms. Family counseling can also be helpful to make the entire household run smoother and help the family cope.
