Ok, how can I help my ADHD husband concentrate on important things I am saying? Hear the baby cry when hes zoned into the TV or video games? He tires, he really does, but he just cant.
They kept raising his prescription when he was a kid. By the time he hit high school, he hated taking his meds so he old them to other kids. No bashing, that was 10 years ago.

Change in diet. Cut out dyes (red especially), little to no gluten, avoid processed junk food. Also there are vitamins that can help too. Fish oil was one. My five year old has ADHD. SOME things work better than others. I can for sure tell if he had a snack at daycare with red dye & he seems particularly bad if he had a lunch that had a lot of gluten.
Oh, also coffee calms him, probably the caffiene.

This too. If we want Elijah to eat dinner, do his homework, ect there has to be ZERO distractions. Music,.tv, games all have to be turned off.
