As a parent we are the most important part of treatment. Of the many gifts of ADHD are intuitiveness and sensitivity. Children with ADHD can sense your frustration and are very sensitive to your energy. This can worsen their symptoms. Connection is the foundation of the parent-child relationship. Without understanding, love and acceptance we cannot have connection. Hug your child today and tell them how much you love them and that you are here to support them in every way. "Don't be so concerned with raising a good kid that you forget you already have one." - Glennon Melton

We recently hosted a free workshop titled: "ADHD & Nutrition - What You Need To Know". We welcomed guest speaker, Lena Arkilanian-Felice, a holistic nutritionist & wellness ambassador. She shared many helpful ideas: including how to read labels and encourage picky eaters to consume more fruits and vegetables. Many of the harmful ingredients in these foods make ADHD symptoms worse. We must be vigilant and avoid pesticides, harmful chemicals and artificial colorings in the foods we feed ourselves and our children.
