I would like to share this article I have found in a local Paper ,A Recent study suggests "Food supplement treatment of ADHD may be equal efficacy to Ritalin treatment," All children and especially those with learning difficultys, benefit from a Multi Vitamin-mineral supplement with antioxidants ,B Complex and Vitamin C.'

defntly doesnt sound like adhd but you really need to speak with her doctor about this!  he should have several options for this!  that do not include medication.

i'm sorry but are you kidding me. she's three if you put her on meds she'll be messed up the rest of her life! not only that but she's three, they act likr that! the problem is, is that she knows she's in control with her tants. put her in a corner if she throws stuuf move it out of the way so she cant get her hands on it. if she gets up keep putting her in the corner.kids all have there own speed at learning and she's 3 give her a break! and she's always talking becuase she wants to learn!!! make a game out of what you want to teach her. if it's her abc's than take little pieces of paper and wright a words on them... apple then throw in a b word.... bike tape them up around the house and have her give you the a words than piont the a out to her.. if she gives you the b word tell her... not an a. the problem is is that you haven't found her way to learn but when you do find her nitch you'll see that she's NOT a slow learner she just needs to be tuagh a different way. thats all. as for tantrums walk away, no eye contact and no talking to her. if she follows you keep walking and tell her when she stops then she can tell you whats wrong and you'll talk to her. also if she doesn't like leaving the playground or where ever tell her bye and wave and she'll run quickly after you

Do not listen to 'people" who like to diagnose' chidren with ADHD . more often than not these are children acting out for normal reasons, and there is  a problem with Parent/Child Interaction,Sometimes there is a new Baby in the House and the child is not getting the attention she once had .and feels jealousy,Moms get tired and dont know how to cope so they Yell and the situation blows up out of proportion.Read Lyn Clarks SOS Help for parents it is really good and gives insite on how to cope, do not listen to the negative Talk.
