I got diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 16, spent my whole life fighting ADHD. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with related health challenges.

Thank you for this video. I agree to this entirely..
This is my experience…
I have 2 kids with adhd. What I have learned to be effective in having them listen and obey me is when I keep very patient with them when they have tantrums or not in the mood. During the times that they’re not in the mood and just want to be left alone, I dont bother them. When they have tantrums, I have to keep calm and just listen and make sure they dont get hurt… and i should avoid getting angry bec that makes it worse.. And the best of all is to give them lots of love, understanding, and affirmation. I also found out that being sad when they dont listen/ obey me, is effective to get their attention. Then they ask me what’s wrong Mom? Why are you sad? Then that’s my opportunity to tell them what they did wrong, that made me sad.. sometimes it works and they will even say sorry to me and say “ok i will stop now. please be happy now 😊”. It also works when I hug them and kiss them.. physical affection of love.. helps them calm down when they’re depressed or angry..and always say positive things rather than negative. 😊

Wow! This video was just what I needed. We are currently in the process of getting our son evaluated for ADHD. He shows signs that to me, teachers, and friends appear to be textbook ADHD. I just want to be able to help him!! I want him to be happy and live a successful life! He is nearly 9 years old. I look forward to pushing ahead and getting him on track so he feels confident and ready. Then maybe the calls from the school will become less frequent.

I have 2 children with adhd and another with adhd/autism with another - every day is exactly the same and hard… it sucks tbf. I love them but it’s sucks

[laciehamblin]

I’m in tears because it’s so difficult, I’ve tried so many approaches and I just don’t even know what to do, my daughter is 7 in second grade, she can’t make any friends, and it breaks my heart, she’s an amazing beautiful bright girl, but it’s sad that other kids just can’t accept her and don’t understand her, she’s so sweet, but she can is bossy and other kids just don’t like that, I get frustrated sometimes and feel so bad about it, she gets frustrated and feels like she’s not enough or something is wrong with her brain, I’ve had hours long conversations with her about how there’s nothing wrong with her she just think differently than others and other people just simply don’t understand, I just hate seeing my daughter go through this, she needs lots of extra attention, but I became pregnant with my son and he’s 3 now, she’s still having a really hard time that she can’t get my full attention anymore, so it makes it more difficult, she gets jealous and doesn’t understand fully why he needs extra attention I try to explain it to her but she’s just really hard in herself and self critical. I love everything about her tho, she’s hilarious and has taught me a lot! She’s truly an amazing little girl. But it’s definitely not easy, but of course as parents we should t expect that we signed up for easy right?

I have ADHD. I’m the person who is inattentive. So parenting for me is extremely stressful, difficult and exhausting.
Now unfortunately my son has ADHD, and I recognized it immediately! I have been begging his doctor for help so I can give him the best life.
My parents unfortunately abused me and beat me, and I’m a mess. So I refuse to parent my child the way they did. But I have no help, no guidance, and no support.
My husband doesn’t have ADHD and it doesn’t run in his family. So he is lost. Where I can relate to my son so quickly, and then I’m accused of being to soft on him, and my mother thinks I should hit him to make him behave like they hit me.

This video is exactly what I needed to see, I’m trying to get help for my son, but mental health in Canada is seriously lacking. And I’m so exhausted myself trying to regulate him and myself at the same time.

[billbag]

having ADHD and dyslexia all my life and never taken any medication for it. you learn how to deal and cope. now i must show my son how to do the same.

[sandycheeks]

I just use soft jazz music 🎶 and we dance together dance 🕺🏻. We also read books & clean up 🧹 together. When that’s not enough we go to the park, I make him color 🖍️, and drink warm tea ☕️ . I know he needs medication 💊 but I’m trying to hold out till he turns at least 9yo.

[socialwork]

I have an add child he has the inattentive element and it is debilitating he's only 12 presents as depressed, no motivation, angry and rude screaming, I dislike my own child he makes life miserable. Why do so many adults glamorise ADHD I worry what my child future will be. He does minimal classwork, no homework and is academically behind yet school refuse EHCP, absolutely awful. My child is physically aggressive, embarrasses me in public, lacks good personal hygiene. Yet in the UK add medication has huge shortages. Its no life, its debilitating, truly!

Feed your children way more fruits and vegetables and throw away the added sugars and processed fatty foods. Stick to pure liquids, encourage drinking pure water too. Takeaway the tablet and turn off the television and ENGAGE WITH YOUR CHILD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

Play some relaxing music in the home as you put puzzles together or help with an art project… etc etc etc.

Some kids are just small, there is too much stress on kids at a young age, if we just let kids be kids they will grow to be normal

[Natalia-lqyn]

Just remember that be " normal" is already great result for them, they struggle for the " normal", easy for others kids without issues, thing, putting much more efford for the same result.
Be proud of your kid for how strong he is comparable to others, that take those results for granted without any hard work on it!
By doing just " normal" adhd kid is doing really much more than normal.
And their source of strenght is your unconditional love.

ADHD is symptom with greed and selfishness in adulthood not in children. Assumptions on children developing ADHD is misdiagnosis of the underlying personal problems in life long developments. Thanks for sharing your medica, and relatives assessments.

[LovelyNomad]

I am ADHD and so does my kid. It was so effective to do sport activities where kids can tired as soccer, running, swimming and the best one is self defense sports ( teakwando jujitsu karate ) it releases stress and teaching them self defense. Avoid sugars, screening and medicine. If they do sports they can also be so successful in school.

The thing is I was born in mid 80s and mental health wasn’t talked about or studied. I was never diagnosed with any disorders learning or otherwise and the details in this video don’t help a parent that is easily distracted inattentive and issue focusing on reading books or online videos. No actual examples or methods given for discipline or how to plan routine in this rushed daily life. There is no time and patience to explain before going in public place and I ask my kid to look me in the eyes and try to stay focused on what I’m trying to teach or say. He is 7 and still too young for doctors to diagnose properly and it has strained my marriage and I think the mother is also adhd and issues with being told tasks to do and not forget or get confused. It’s very frustrating. I have home videos of me constantly sitting in different positions squirming etc while reading from a book. I have still yet to find how I can get secondary education to apply for something like IT when I’m a learn by experience and visual learner and I’ve still yet to find a right fit for a job to stay at and now Im closing on 40 years old. Yes it does make mentally physically exhausted and non stable moods emotions and I have migraines daily. I need help but I don’t know what support group or who to ask for

I really enjoyed this video, these tips will definitely assist me with raising my son 💛

[GiGiM-]

My 8 year old Grandson has been diagnosed as ADHD. We are currently experiencing medication shortages. This leads to inconsistency in taking his medication timely. He truly suffers…interactions at school, his sibling and all who have contact with him.
It is so frustrating!

[qudratalabi]

I am thrilled to watch these tips. I can't wait to start the application.

My journey with my son he's five going to be 6 this Friday it was truly a struggle I've been studying him since he was a baby actually I know something was not quite right cuz sometimes he would have outbursts go to different emotional changes then I really realized that even more when he started kindergarten so unfortunately have to be retained in kindergarten again but now he's on medication and it's really been helping him do better now still have a lot of work to work on but a little progress is better than no progress but my advice to someone doesn't recognize the sign study you might get backlash watch watch what your kids eat try to be careful environment that they be in always listen to your first instinct set up routines conversations and always have talks about making good choices on what we expected them to do be consistent with them I try to have long talks as much as possible my son plays a lot balance it out after I make them work and earn things he has ADHD but he still equal to other in the same consequences will happen if you do certain things be completely honest with them know how to separate the play time from day-to-day activities sometime Miguel woman take a couple deep breaths and go for a little small walk if you exercise work out a little bit couple push-ups try to redirect them that energy they got into something constructive instead of some destructive and try to keep them away from red dye 40 other harmful chemicals and keep him away from things like tomatoes sugar grapes play take the medication we have to have certain things that helps work with the medication instead of altering the medication so no oranges stay encouraged and know it's a hard task pray about it teach your child to pray and make sure they attend their therapy sessions and make sure you be active there and interact with the therapist so you all work together
