Sharing a special moment with my grandson. He has lived with me for 3 years..something I never considered I would do at my age..and to learn how to handle day to day life with a child who has ADHD...to learn to look past the stress and frustration and exhaustion ..to see how precious /intelligent/loving children can be helped if someone will listen and care enough to get them the help they need

I also know how special it is to have a grandson that is ADHD, as I also have an 11 yr old grandson that was diagnosed with this at age 7. It is difficult at times, but once you learn enough and know how to give them creative experiences to diffuse the hyper times, they are just a joy to be around! Unfortunately, my grandson has to be on medication for his ADHD, but even with that, it makes the world of difference in his behavior.
I commend you for raising a child with this, as it can be most challenging at times, and tiring too, but there is no other joy that comes from having a "special grandson!!"
