MY GRANDAUGHTER HAS ADHD AND SHE IS SEVEN AND SH IS GOOD UNTILL HER FATHER GETS HOME AND SHE STARTS TO ACT UP AND HE STARTS TO HOLLER AT HER WHY DOES SHE DO THAT FOR ? IS IT FOR ATTENTIONS BECAUS HER FATHER DOESN'T GIVE HER ANY (PLUS SHE IS ON MED FOR H ER PROBLEM ALSO)
By the time Dad gets home her medication is probably wearing off. This can be adjusted. What really needs to be adjusted is Dad. He needs to understand what ADHD is and how to work with ADHD kids. Hollering at her is like hollering at the moon, it ain't gonna make a bit of difference. And -- it's gonna get worse not better. He needs to get an understanding of what is going on and how to deal with it. It really will make his life (and everybody elses) better
