My almost 8 year old son has ADHD. In Kindergarten and First Grade he was on medication to help keep him focused and calm at school. 3 days before the start of Second Grade we had a horrible experience with his new medication and I pulled him off of it and vowed that I would not have him on medication any longer. I was a nervous wreck starting the school year. However, it is now almost the end of the year and Zachary is doing amazingly well! This is his best year academically (and also the ...

Emergen-C Kids and the Importance of Vitamins
A couple weeks ago we had to take our son off his ADHD meds. He had a not so great reaction to the medicine and after dealing with that, my husband and I decided that we wanted to really pay close attention to his vitamin intake and diet to manage his ADHD. I am thrilled that his appetite has come back...this child has not gained any weight since he was 4...he's 7. So all in all, it's relatively OK so far. Emergen-C has a new formula just for kids!

I wanted to shove ANYTHING in my ears
My son had his 4 year check up today and my goodness I wanted to seriously shove pencils in my ears. There was a mother in the waiting room with her two boys. They were curious, energetic 3 year old twin boys. But, in my opinion, were not doing a thing wrong. Like most doctors offices, there are toys, books, a large fish aquarium, etc. They walked (yes walked) from toy to toy.Every 2 seconds (literally!!!) you would hear in this shrill voice "Joel and Cole get over here"; "Joel and Cole, ...
