I believe his infatuation with trains’
ties into his mind resembling a speeding train.
My nephew is five years old and is
an absolute joy to be around. He’s creative, intelligent, funny and innovative.
In reading articles online about children and being diagnosed with ADHD and
steps following such as medication has intrigued me the most. I guess being an
Educator I want to know and understand what other options are available in the
event medication will not be a consideration.
I’ve gained a new found respect for
parents and primary care givers who work alongside their children or care for
someone else’s child with ADHD because It takes extreme patience,
understanding, and planning to come up with ways to cop and manage the
behaviors associated with the disorder.
In sharing the information with my sister about my nephew and
his diagnoses, some that has served me as helpful has been Journal of attention disorders( Toronto; North
Tonawanda, NY: Multi-Health Systems Inc., 1996); Attention Magazine
(Plantation(Fla): C.H.A.D.D., 1994) Attention Magazine! ( http:// www. Chadd.org/Content/CHADD/AttentionMagazine/default.htm)
My wish for my sister is to be a
better parent and equip herself with the tools to see that my nephew is
grounded and surpassing any and all restrictions placed upon him.
