Question
What if you have been reading and applying Rosemond's parenting techniques since the birth of your first child, followed all the tv and behavior rules, and your child still exhibits characteristics of ADD? She has been professionally evaluated and is currenlty in counseling but our family life is a nightmare due to the anxiety and frustration she feels. Professionals tell me that if I put her on medication and it doesn't work, then I know ADD is not the problem. Because of Rosemond's view of ADD,I have never believed it to be real and I keep trying to be a better parent but I have exhausted everything. It doesn't help that I have several family members just like her, including a 75 year old grandfather, who is hard working but can't "keep still". She is 8 years old and attends Catholic school. I know she is miserable but I don't know what to do to help. Any suggestions?
