CHILD BEHAVIOR COMMUNITY
I am in over my head!

I am in over my head!

The story is way to long to start from the beginning so I will try to prvide pertinent facts about the problems I am facing with my 8 year old daughter. She is certainly depressed, obese and has behavioral problems yet to be defined. Some of this is just plain genetics that are out of my control, but I know that there are issues that I can address to have a healthier baby girl. Where should I start? I have had her on ADHD meds before and I want to do everything I can to avoid it again.

lilak,  you really don't give enough information.

Rarely are children with ADHD on meds obese.  The ADHD keeps them moving,  and the meds control their appetite - so they end up small and scrawny and the concern is getting them to eat enough.

Can you add more details?

Best wishes.
