Does anyone have kids with AdHd or add?

Question

what is it, and how old is you child and how does it effect them?

Answer 1

My 6 y/o son is diagnosed both with Global Dev't Delay and ADHD (attention deficiency & hyperactivity disorder).  He is also hyperactive, has no sense of danger, but so affectionate and charming.  His only rest time is sleeping and watching videos.  Luckily, the doctors did not prescribe any medication but he's on his 2nd year on behavioral therapy and special education and has improved a lot especially with his speech (he has the speech ability of a 3- y/o).  For more information on ADHD, here's a link that might help:

Hope your friend copes well!

Answer 2

ADD is Attention Deficit Disorder ~ My son, Caleb, 8, has this ~ he acts very hyper and does things that are awfully harmful to himself. He has never had to  go to a special school, unlike his twin sister, but they have both been treated by a specialist for these things.

     Rhonda, who has ADHD, is affected in the same way most of the time. She has also been treated at Charleston (Trident Eyecare) for her blindness ~ when she was born and several times since then. We don't live there now, but I was born and raised there, my kids were born there, and my grandmother and some of my family lives there still, so that is where we go to the big doctors such as if we have to see a surgeon or the eye doctor, etc.  

     I will retire there and, when I die, come back to rest until Jesus comes (unless we are raptured before then!) where my mother and daddy, brother and sisters, nieces, nephews, and cousins are to be buried, and where my baby brother and many sets of grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins rest high on that mountain until the day of revelation!

Answer 3

I have 3 kids with this. It is a disorder where they cannot control their activity level and they have difficulty concentrating. My kids take medication and if they don't get it they get extremely hyper (jumping-yelling-climbing). They have impulsivity issues also. I have to be careful around busy streets because they don't think to look they jut run across. This is more than just being kids-when I say hyper I mean really hyper-to the point of being harmful sometimes.
