Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD is a neurological based behavior disorder. ADD is not a mythical illness, although many people would like us to believe otherwise.

Living with ADD can be extremely overwhelming. There is the constant misplacing of essential items, missed appointments, and forgotten bills that can not only be frustrating but expensive when one considers the amount of money paid in missed appointment and late payment charges.

As a parent of a high-energy child with ADHHHHHHD I have learned not to apologize for what is appropriate age and situational behaviors.

There are three main characteristics present in children diagnosed with AD/HD; are impulsivity, hyperactivity, and distractibility.

Consistency is the key when working with young children and teenagers, especially children diagnosed ADD. When life is consistent, children know what to expect and this is calming to ADD children.
